Back to School with a SMILE Your child may have the latest wardrobe, school supplies and sports equipment for the new school year, but does she have a healthy mouth and the tools she’ll need to maintain it? According to the American Dental Association, a dental examination is as important as immunizations and booster shots and should be a regular part of backto-school preparations. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that tooth decay affects U.S. children more than any other chronic infectious disease and 19 percent of children ages 2 to 19 years old have untreated tooth decay. Dental pain or disease can lead to difficulty in eating, speaking, playing and learning as well as millions of hours of missed school. Your child’s back-to-school checklist should include: 10 www.cedarcitymag.com
• Regular dental examinations to diagnose and treat or prevent dental problems. Parents and teachers may not realize there’s a dental problem, so regular checkups are important. Your dentist may suggest fluoride treatments or sealants to prevent decay and can diagnose and treat dental problems to save your child pain and lost school time. • Regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing. Head for the dental care aisle when you’re out shopping for notebooks, binders and pencils. If parents buy several toothbrushes, they could have their child change to a new one every three months or so, or after an illness. If it’s hard to remember when to change a brush, you could try to change it every time report cards come out. Ask your dentist for
a recommendation on how often to change toothbrushes. • Eating healthy lunches and snacks. Include portable healthy lunch items and snacks in your child’s sack lunch, including grains, milk, cheese, raw vegetables, yogurt or fruit. If your children eat in the school cafeteria, review healthy, balanced food choices with him before the first day of school. Cut back on sugary foods and soft drinks. • Wear a properly fitted mouthguard while participating in organized sports, PE classes or playground activities.

Sports Physicals – Are They Important?
About the Author Scott Barton, M.D. has practiced comprehensive family care with obstetrics and pediatrics for the past 13 years in Southern Utah, and is accepting new patients 435-674-6067.
By Scott Barton, MD There is a big difference between a quick, “gotta have the darned paper signed, line the kids up in the school gym” sports physical and a pre-participation / preventive physical exam in your physician’s office. A physician trained in the nuances of doing a comprehensive physical exam is much more likely to find and treat concerns which can be important to a student athlete, such as possible sudden death with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. I would advocate for parents to take the opportunity, when those forms are due, to have a complete physical for their child. One benefit of “Obama Care” is that insurances are required to cover the full cost of a preventive examination once a year. It is not often that a family physician or pediatrician gets the opportunity to counsel growing young men and women regarding preventive issues. It is an opportunity to discuss their concerns about their developing bodies, healthy habits, and immunizations that might further protect them as well as do an in depth review of past health problems and symptoms that could suggest impending issues. In the office the weight and height will be graphed on a growth chart and compared with others their age to assess appropriate development. In order to make the most of an office exam I would encourage parents to fill out a pre-participation health history so it can be reviewed before the exam and concerns can be investigated further. An accurate history can bring out the majority of potential concerns for an athlete. I am seeing an increase in the number of student athletes using performanceenhancing substances, many of which are causing significant harm to them. I try to take a non-judgmental approach and encourage open dialogue about them so we can discuss the risks and benefits of such. In an office setting, a physician is able to also treat and prescribe medications for ongoing health issues such as asthma, orthopedic issues, weight gain or loss, etc. It is also a time to counsel about healthy training strategies and to watch for concerns for women athletes such as the “female athlete triad” (disordered eating, amenorrhea and osteoporosis). When given the chance some athletes will open up about health concerns they may have. They certainly won’t feel comfortable doing this with all their peers waiting in line outside the gym door.
In short, a sports physical is like most things in life: the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. So if in a rush your child got the “assembly line exam,” it would still be a good idea to come in for a more comprehensive preventive examination with your primary care provider. For your child, it is the one thing all insurances will pay for without meeting your deductible.

Visualize Success in School
12 www.cedarcitymag.com
A child needs many abilities to succeed in school. Good vision is a key. It has been estimated that as much as 80% of the learning a child does occurs through his or her eyes. Reading, writing, chalkboard work, and using computers are among the visual tasks students perform daily. A child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, education and participation in sports can suffer. As children progress in school, they face increasing demands on their visual abilities. The size of print in schoolbooks becomes smaller and the amount of time spent reading and studying increases significantly. Increased class work and homework place significant demands on the child’s eyes. Unfortunately, the visual abilities of some students aren’t performing up to the task. When certain visual skills have not developed, or are poorly developed, learning is difficult and stressful, and children will typically: • Avoid reading and other near visual work as much as possible. • Attempt to do the work anyway, but with a lowered level of comprehension or efficiency. • Experience discomfort, fatigue and a short attention span. Some children with learning difficulties exhibit specific behaviors of hyperactivity and distractibility. These children are often labeled as having “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” (ADHD). However, undetected and untreated vision problems can elicit some of the very same signs and symptoms commonly attributed to ADHD. Due to these similarities, some children may be mislabeled as having ADHD when, in fact, they have an undetected vision problem. Because vision may change frequently during the school years, regular eye and vision care is important. The most common vision problem is nearsightedness or myopia. However, some children have other forms of refractive error like farsightedness
Health & Wellness
80% of the learning occurs through the eyes! and astigmatism. In addition, the existence of eye focusing, eye tracking and eye coordination problems may affect school and sports performance. Eyeglasses or contact lenses may provide the needed correction for many vision problems. However, a program of vision therapy may also be needed to help develop or enhance vision skills. A child may not tell you that he or she has a vision problem because they may think the way they see is the way everyone sees. Vision changes can occur without your child or you noticing them. Signs that may indicate a child has vision problem include: • Frequent eye rubbing or blinking • Short attention span
• Avoiding reading and other close activities • Frequent headaches • Covering one eye • Tilting the head to one side •H olding reading materials close to the face • An eye turning in or out • Seeing double • Losing place when reading • Difficulty remembering what he or she read Your child should receive an eye examination at least once every two yearsmore frequently if specific problems or risk factors exist. Unfortunately, parents and educators often incorrectly assume that if a child
passes a school screening, then there is no vision problem. However, many school vision screenings only test for distance visual acuity. A child who can see 20/20 can still have a vision problem. In reality, the vision skills needed for successful reading and learning are much more complex. If you suspect a problem contact your local optometrist as the earlier a vision problem is detected and treated, the more likely treatment will be successful.

How to Beat the Bully By Terrin Parker Bullying has become a mega buzzword. News, social media, headlines, and blogs are all caught up in this anti-bullying campaign. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as opposed to bullying as the next person, especially now that I’m a mother. Bullying is bad, and seeing your kid get teased is heartbreaking. Having said that, where do we draw the line between being bullied, and growing up in the real world? Before you call the bully patrol on me, let me explain. I’ll start by saying that I was “bullied” as a kid. I was ditched at recess, I was made fun of for having a cowlick, and kicked out of the cool kids club for wearing the wrong 14 www.cedarcitymag.com
jacket, and called mean names, all before I reached double digits. Was it unpleasant? Sure. Did it ruin my life? Hardly. I made new friends and learned valuable life lessons. I learned that not everyone is kind, not everyone is accepting, and not everyone plays nice. I also later learned that the same “mean girls” that ditched me at recess were riddled with insecurities. Picking on others was how they coped. It had absolutely nothing to do with me. They erroneously believed that by putting others down they were somehow elevated. I learned that there are people in this world who are accepting,
fun, confident and comfortable with who they are. Those are the people I chose to associate with, and the kind of person I later became. As an adult, I have found that little has changed since the playground days as far as the way we treat each other. There are still fun, kind, accepting individuals, and there are still petty, insecure, and cruel individuals. They are at work, at church, at the supermarket, and “trolling” online, ready to say condescending, hurtful things, often to someone they have never even met. The truth is, unhappy people love to make others unhappy, just like the age old adage
Health & Wellness
“misery loves company” would imply. I’m not a psychologist, sociologist, or social worker, but I think one of the issues we have as a society in terms of bullying is that we are placing too much emphasis on the bad guys. How to rid the world of said bully. I have news for you: bullies aren’t going anywhere. They have been around since Cain slew Abel. There will always be mean people. Aside from doing all we can to raise awareness and curb the amount of bullying going on, the only sure way to beat the bully is to focus on teaching our kids and the next generation how to cope with life’s villains by instilling in them some selfconfidence. Teach them how to rise above the putdowns. Teach them how to stand up for themselves. Teach them how to stand up for someone else. Teach them how to solve their own problems. Teach them something besides dependence on someone else to fight their figurative battles. Above all else, teach them self-acceptance, so they can recognize that the real issue lies, not with them, but with the perpetrator. Instead of focusing on the impossibility of eliminating the bullies of the world, let’s fortify our campaign for stronger children: psychologically, emotionally, physically. Let me clarify that I don’t believe in the parenting style that was prevalent when our grandparents were growing up. The old belt-whoopin’ in the barn, hard-knock-love kind of discipline doesn’t resonate with me. But I think the pendulum has now swung too far in the opposite direction. Not only is there no belt, but we are willing to give the kid a barn if they will stop whining. What does this teach them? To whine until they get what they want? Parents bawl out the teacher for their kid’s bad grades and get mad at the coach if their kid strikes out. They are fighting their kid’s battles, leaving the child to believe that he/she is incapable of solving their own problems (and gaining some selfrespect in the process). If you treat your kid like a victim, that’s what they will become. If you treat your kid like they will break, you will soon have a very fragile child. A child who will rely on others to fix things, while
they continue to bask in the deceivingly comfortable yet highly destructive zone of mediocrity and entitlement known as Easy Street. You know, that place just south of Santa’s Workshop and adjacent to Neverland. I need to put one final disclaimer in here. If there is a situation where someone is relentlessly harassing a child, putting them
in harm’s way, (physical or psychological), by all means,step in and help them do what is necessary to rectify the situation. There are shades of bullying, and circumstances where someone does need to intervene. But not all the time, every time. And if a kid thinks they are worthless just because they were called a mean name, I’m inclined to think the issue is bigger than the bully.
“Teach them how to rise above the put-downs.”

Healthcare Careers with Technical Flare By Southwest Applied Technology College staff
There isn’t a job out there that doesn’t require you to touch a computer!” is a claim made by many of our industry specialists as they share with young adults the rigors of the current workforce demands. Meeting the demands of the local workforce is our mission and on our campus we take this seriously. Our instructors come directly from the industry, and our campus is accredited by the Council on Occupational Education. All of our programs are guided and built with the assistance of our local advisory councils. The health care industry is no exception to the technology rule. When our Health Science Technology Council recommended we add Certified Coding Associate, Certified Billing and Coding Associate, and Healthcare IT Technician, we went into action. Southwest Applied Technology College now offers all three programs and enrollment is currently available to begin in August 2014. Each program consists of courses that provide the opportunity for students to master competencies in the healthcare 16 www.cedarcitymag.com
field, specifically in informatics and related technical support positions. Certified Coding Associate (CCA), a 630 hour program, assists students in becoming distinguished coders by exhibiting commitment and demonstrating coding competencies across all settings, including both hospitals and physician practices. Obtaining this credential, positions you as a leader in an exciting and growing market. Certified Coding Associates exhibit a level of commitment, competency, and professional capability that employers are looking for, they demonstrate a commitment to the coding profession, and they distinguish themselves from non- credentialed coders. Students who complete the CCA program will be eligible to receive certification that has been a nationally accepted standard of achievement in the health information management (HIM) field since 2002. The CCA is one of three coding credentials worldwide currently accredited by the National Commission for Certifying
Health & Wellness
will have the option to take a certification test upon completion. Healthcare IT Technician, a 600 hour program, blends the essence of a healthcare atmosphere and the detailed uniqueness of information technology. Technicians in this field implement, deploy, and support health IT systems in various clinical settings and understand regulatory requirements, healthcare terminology/ acronyms, HIPPA Privacy Rule compliance, and possess a basic understanding of practice workflow while adhering to code of conduct policies, and security best practices in order to support Electronic Health Records systems in medical facilities. Students who complete the program will be eligible to receive the CompTIA A+ Healthcare IT Technician certification. Thinking of returning to school and afraid you’re “too old” or “too rusty?” SWATC has the perfect solution to get you past the fear. We offer a Student Success course that will provide a complete introduction to our campus and your program, and provide you real life solutions to deal with your schedule, your life and the fun-filled hiccups we all encounter. In addition, the course will ensure you dust off the rust and refresh yourself with academic basics so you begin your program with confidence. We understand the typical high cost associated with college. At SWATC we keep tuition rates low and offer federal financial aid, scholarships, and VA education benefits to those that qualify.
Agencies (NCCA). Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS), a 450 hour program, provides students with the opportunity to gain competency and focus on converting a medical procedure, diagnosis, or symptom into specific codes for submitting a claim for reimbursement. Further, Certified Billing and Coding Specialists accurately locate documentation in the patient record to support the coding and billing process, accurately assign codes for diagnosis and procedures, submit claims for reimbursement based on payer policies and procedures, and coach providers on the best documentation practices to support quality coding and optimal reimbursement. Similar to Coding Associates, commitment, detail, professionalism and accuracy are skills demanded of a Certified Billing and Coding Specialist. Students who complete the CBCS program will be eligible to receive certification from the National Healthcareer Association and

Restaurant Journeys:
Pizza Factory A Favorite Place to Eat for Nearly 40 Years! By Randy Lovell We all need to thank the late Bill Kringlen and a group of his friends who, during the early 70’s, came to Cedar City on a ski vacation and never left. Finding there wasn’t a pizza parlor in the area, they seized the opportunity and opened the first Pizza Factory in Cedar in 1973. They created a casual and very comfortable environment where everyone could enjoy lunch and dinner. In fact, it became and continues to be one of the most popular places to go in Cedar City to enjoy great food, great company and a great atmosphere. Pizza Factory serves a complete line of Italian food from “the freshest pizza” in town to sandwiches, pasta, soup, specialty salads, spaghetti, calzones, garlic bread, wings, and the best salad bar around. Even the pickiest eater will find something to 18 www.cedarcitymag.com
their liking. Everything is made to order, so you can have it your way, but you first have to decide what combination you want and this can be a daunting task. If pizza is your choice, you can custom build your pizza just the way you like it, or choose between several specialty pizzas. They also offer a gluten free option. To create your own pasta dish, you choose from a variety of types of pasta, homemade sauces that they have created and prepare fresh daily, and healthy toppings to complete your meal. Whatever you choose, you can rest assured that your meal will be enjoyable, as their emphasis is, and has always been, on quality cuisine and serving the freshest ingredients. The other day my family and I stopped in for lunch, and were greeted by the always friendly staff. As we sat down, the dilemma
began again in trying to decide what to eat. I am the one that usually has a hard time deciding. My wife was quick to order the salad bar and a bread twist, her favorite, and an excellent choice I might add. The salad bar is always fresh and has a large selection of vegetables and toppings. In fact, we have found that we tend to judge all salad bars with Pizza Factory’s salad bar. The bread twists are an excellent addition to any meal, served hot and coated with garlic butter. If you like, you can have a side of sauce such as marinara, alfredo, ranch, or honey butter as dipping sauce. As someone once said, “the bread sticks are divine and you should eat there at least once, if for nothing else but the bread sticks”. My daughter always chooses the raspberry lemonade made with fresh
raspberries, a perfect way to start the meal. After much deliberation, she decided to have angel hair pasta with alfredo sauce, topped with deliciously grilled chicken and mushrooms. As for me, I had a hard time deciding – do I order the whale sandwich, a toasted roll filled with pastrami, ham, canadian bacon, salami, pepperoni and cheese, or do I order a custom built pizza, or a calzone? I decided to have a pizza topped with sausage and lots of cheese. The crust was perfectly crunchy and doughy at the same time, just the way I like it. It was great! For us, it was, as it always is, a great experience and one that will be repeated many more times in the future. Pizza Factory also offers delicious homemade cookies, or you can’t go wrong with the “Never on Sundae” dessert. A classic chocolate chip cookie cooked and served right from the oven, warm and goey, with 3 scoops of Premium Vanilla ice cream covered with chocolate, caramel and whipped cream. Kim Kringlen Hansen continues to be the hands-on owner and manager, working daily in the restaurant. She has such an outgoing and bubbly personality that guests have come to love about going to Pizza Factory. She loves greeting the customers whether it’s their first time or if they are “regulars”. She says it’s their job to make sure every customer feels welcome, enjoys a delicious meal, and walks away with a smile. Whether you dine in, carry out, or have a party catered, Pizza Factory has been and will continue to be the one of the best places to eat in Cedar City.

DELIVERING ON
A MERICA'S PROMISE
President Scott Wyatt and his wife Kathy
T HOMECOMING
2014 AND THE INAUGURATION OF SOUTHERN UTAH UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SCOTT L WYATT
12
20 www.cedarcitymag.com IN VIEW
hough homecoming week at any university is largely about the past, SUU’s 2014 homecoming hoopla will be as much about its yet-to-be announced future as it is about the 117 years that have come before, when Scott L Wyatt is formally inducted as president.
While any presidential inauguration seems, at first glance, to focus on the commander-in-chief, SUU’s new president has been clear: this September 12 will be a celebration for and about the University and its community. Beyond a formalized fresh start, inaugurations provide the venue for the new president to present his future vision and goals for the university. Wyatt selected the inaugural theme, “Delivering on America’s Promise,” himself, and says he plans to use his inaugural address as a forum to explain the many ways SUU will focus on delivering on that promise in the coming years. Wyatt, who comes to SUU after serving as president of Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, brings a unique perspective to his institutional leadership. Before taking the helm at Snow, he served as prosecutor and two-term legislative representative for Cache County. He has also served on Utah’s legislative Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee, an appointed position. He understands both the broader complexities of the state’s education and legislative system, as well as the critical role local communities play in the success of regional institutions beyond the Wasatch Front. In addition to Wyatt’s vision, the joint Homecoming and Inauguration festivities at Southern Utah University this September will showcase the University’s finest from across disciplines. President Wyatt’s installation ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. in the Centrum arena on Friday, September 12, 2014. All events (see facing page) are open to the public.

Historical Beginnings:
Cardon’s
Shoes and Clothing By Ron Cardon In 1934, a young couple left Logan, Utah, and ventured 338 miles south to open a shoe store in Cedar City. Little did they know that their venture, known today as Cardon’s Shoes and Clothing, would become a third-generation, 80-year fixture on Cedar’s Main Street. That couple was Thomas Bartlie and Florence Sutton Cardon, and the shoe store they opened was on a small rug in the back of Wood’s Toggery, located in the space now occupied by Sarge’z Café, next door to Holmes Barber Shop. Cardon’s Shoes thrived and created a unique partnership for both businesses. In 1946, Tom passed away from cancer, leaving 42 year-old Florence to run the business and care for the couple’s three children – Tom, David and Suzanne. While it was uncommon for a woman to own and manage a retail business in the1940s, Florence was undeterred. She knew there was a business to run, and a family to support, and she went to work. Florence learned of a building being remodeled, three doors to the north in the Knell Block, and determined it was the perfect site to expand the cramped shoe store. She went to the bank for a loan and was denied; she always felt being a woman was the primary reason for the refusal. Once news reached Logan, an uncle traveled to Cedar City and met with the bank’s loan officer. By the end of their meeting he had the bank’s assurance that a loan would be forthcoming. Florence secured the loan, moved the business, and never failed to receive future loans from the bank – or to pay them back. She was an extraordinary businesswoman. In 1956, Florence’s son Tom, and his wife Mildred, returned home from the Air Force and he went to work at the store, becoming the second-generation owner. He built on the tradition established by his parents, of providing quality merchandise and excellent customer service. During Tom’s years in the store, downtown Cedar City was filled with dozens of stores: clothing, jewelry, gifts, hardware, furniture, pharmacy and variety. The district was not only a shopping destination for Iron County, but for all of Southern Utah. A vibrant Downtown Merchant’s Association was formed and worked to stage all kinds of promotions, which included sidewalk sales, Crazy Days and of course 22 www.cedarcitymag.com
holiday sales. One example of the cooperation was a “Calling Tree” that the merchants used to quickly alert one another of customers passing fraudulent checks, shoplifting or causing other problems. In 1983, Tom purchased neighboring Mr. R. Men’s Wear, primarily to avoid having an empty building next door and to help preserve a piece of the eroding downtown business climate. Owning a men’s clothing store was a bit ironic, considering Cardon’s started on a rug in a men’s clothing store. With a new round of redevelopment in 1983, both businesses moved into the current location, 74 N. Main Street, and the old Knell Block was demolished. Redevelopment efforts in 1998 again brought changes and the current building underwent an extensive remodel inside, along with a major remodel outside that shortened the length of the building and created two new office/retail spaces. Alan Cardon is now the third-generation owner of this family “venture” that celebrated its 80th anniversary in July. He carries on the tradition of quality merchandise and good old-fashioned customer service. Of course Cardon’s Shoes and Clothing still carries shoes, but its offerings also include men’s clothing (suits, dress shirts, ties, casual shirts, pants and tuxedo rentals) and women’s clothing (dresses, jackets, skirts, blouses, sweaters and slacks). Cardon’s Shoes and Clothing, while contributing to the lifeblood of Cedar City, is just one of many family units over the years who have, in ways both large and small, made this a true hometown to all.
Hike/Bike Trail Reviews:
Navajo Lake Trail By Jay Bartlett, Mechanic/Salesman, Bicycles Unlimited This issue we’re going to get higher (altitude, that is)! Higher altitude means lower temps, and at roughly nine thousand feet the Navajo Lake trail is one of my favorite “get away from the heat” rides. This is a really fun trail for just about anyone. From newbies, with its rolling hills and generally smooth conditions, to more advanced riders who can be challenged by doing laps,(the trail can be ridden in either direction), riding faster, or adding in connectors to the higher altitudes of the Virgin River Rim trail. To get there, take I-15 north to the first Cedar City exit, heading through town until you see the turn west for Highway 14 up Cedar Canyon. Continue on this gorgeous road, getting off at Navajo Lake. Drive down this dirt road about a mile and you’ll see a trail sign for the north side of the Navajo Lake trail. There’s a good parking area another quarter mile down the road, although the trail can be accessed from any of the camping and picnic areas around the lake. The north side of the lake is generally easier, although you will go through an old lava flow on the east end that can be loose, so some may opt to walk this part. The up side is the views are great and this section is short so you’ll soon be back on the bike! The trail continues on just above the shoreline in aspen and pine forest, with smile inducing, undulating, twisty terrain, over to the Te Ah campground. Here you’ll have some options: (1) Get on the road east and head back to the car. (2) Get on the road east for about a half mile, and hook south when you see the Lodge trail. Stay on the lower section of trail for some great single track which parallels above the main road,and will dump you out right at the trail sign you
saw when you first drove in, or (3) Get on the road west and turn south at the Virgin River Rim trail sign, which will take you higher up the mountain to summits overlooking all points south including Zion National Park. You can then choose to drop back down to the lake on several connector trails. My favorite is the Dike Trail. It’s fast, and has quite a few switchbacks! The main trail around the lake is about eleven miles long, with many options to make it longer, and several “bail outs” along the way if the going gets tough or the weather turns nasty. Speaking of weather, even if it’s hot in St George, be prepared for rapid changes at higher altitude. Rain and even hail are not unheard of up here! So be safe and get out and have a fun ride!

Iron County Fair: The Tradition Continues! By Cedar City Magazine Staff For many folks in Cedar City, Labor Day means one thing: a drive to Parowan to attend the Iron County Fair!

Not to mention the candy tossed, and the water sprayed that helps cool you on a hot day! This year, the theme is “Proud to be Americans” and the Grand Marshal will be Elmo Pendleton Orton, a Parowan native, and life-long resident of Iron County. A stalwart patriot through and through, Elmo served in World War II from 1942-1945 and has been an asset to this community for many years. The weekend is full of fun activities for the whole family, from the 5K Fun Run/Walk and Bike Run to the Car Show and Carnival. There is always amazing local entertainment in the tent and exhibits in the gallery.

A Family that Plays Together, Stays Together By Chad D. Olson, LMFT A few months ago on my way home from work I was listening to the radio and the show’s host posed an intriguing question: “Do you live to work, or do you work to live?” This question really made me think about the importance of balancing work and play. I have always found satisfaction in being a hard worker and want to instill that characteristic in my children; however, I also realize that playing together as a family is critical to my relationship with them. Work and play should not be seen an either/or proposition; we should view it as an and/both opportunity. The income I receive from my employment is not an end in and of itself; it is a means to provide opportunities for my family to strengthen our relationships with each other. I’ve heard it said that a common lament uttered by people at the end of their lives is the regret of spending too much time at work and not enough time with their family. In order to see the value of play, we may need to consider it through the eyes of a child. You might be familiar with the story about Charles Adams (President 28 www.cedarcitymag.com
John Adams’ grandson) who had very little free time because of his professional and political career. However, one day he took his boy fishing and recorded in his diary, “Went fishing with my son today – a day wasted!” That same day his son Brooks wrote, “Went fishing with my father today – the most wonderful day of my life.” There may be some perceived sacrifices to making time to play as a family, but I believe that anything you choose to give up will be compensated by the memories, satisfaction, and relationships you will build with your family. So, where can you start? Here are five ideas that you could do this week to strengthen your family relationships through play: 1. Go on a hike – anywhere that your family enjoys. 2. Go to a park. Cedar City takes pride in their parks and does a wonderful job maintaining them. There are dozens of parks, so find one you haven’t visited and go play! 3. Attend an event at Southern Utah University or one of our high
schools. Whether your preference is an athletic event, a play, or a concert, there are events going on regularly. 4. P lay a board game. Research suggests that playing board games can improve cognitive abilities, provide an opportunity to teach important values (e.g., cooperation, honesty, sportsmanship), and strengthen family relationships. 5. Learn a new skill together. This suggestion could include learning a new sport, learning to play a musical instrument, building something together or dozens of other things. Be creative and use this idea to build selfconfidence in your children. Did you notice that “Watching TV” didn’t make the list? That’s not to say that all TV is bad, but we shouldn’t rely on TV/ movies/video games to bring our families together because the focus is primarily on the screen – not each other. So, let’s enjoy this beautiful spring weather in Dixie and have fun playing!

Kids in the Kitchen By April Judd You may not have thought of your kitchen as a classroom, but it can be a place where kids can learn a lot, and not just about food and nutrition. The Many Benefits of Teaching Kids to Cook Cooking with a parent or grandparent helps a child develop math and reading skills plus learn about science. Time spent together mixing and measuring ingredients is a chance to bond and share family stories. Children who help prepare meals are often excited about eating the fruits of their labor. Even picky eaters have a hard time saying “no” to a dish they’ve helped create. From Meal Planning to Food Prep Start by involving kids in the grocery shopping. They can help with everything from creating a list, to finding items in the store. Together, check out kid-friendly cookbooks for inspiration and recipes. Older children can work on nutritious meal plans and even help with coupons and budgeting. When it comes time to cook, having helped plan the meal, they’ll already be engaged in the process and be more eager to pitch in. Getting Started in the Kitchen Before you let your little helper begin, set up a safe, kid-friendly workspace. The kitchen table is lower than a countertop, and may be more comfortable for children. If they still need a boost, use a sturdy step-stool. An exercise step platform works well for this purpose, too. Don’t forget to review these basic rules with your children before you get started, adjusting them as needed to suit your child’s age and abilities. Wash your hands with warm water and soap. This is an important rule for kids and adults alike. Make sure everyone washes thoroughly after handling raw meat or eggs. The oven and stove are for grown-ups. Little kids should be told that these appliances can get very hot and it’s never okay to touch them. Steer clear of knives, graters and other
30 www.cedarcitymag.com
“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.” ~ Chinese Proverb sharp tools. Keep these items out of reach, and give children safe plastic implements instead. Helping Hands: Cooking Skills for Kids Here are some fun and easy ways children can help in the kitchen. Don’t forget to talk about colors, numbers, food groups and other concepts as you work together: Sorting ingredients and putting them in order: • Washing fruits and vegetables • Tearing lettuce or peeling bananas • Measuring ingredients using cups or spoons • Mixing with a spoon or whisk or mashing with a fork • Kneading or rolling dough, and cutting out cookies • Pouring batter into pans • Breaking eggs into a bowl • Making simple sandwiches or filling tacos • Cutting with a plastic knife Remember that even if your recipe doesn’t turn out perfectly - or you have a big mess to clean up when you’re done - you’ll have made memories together. And those will last longer than any culinary creation! Activity Seek opportunities to find a “little helper” and make something together in the kitchen.

Children and Type II Diabetes:
How to make healthy decisions By Emily Fonnesbeck RD, CD, CLT Just this past month, The American Academy of Pediatrics published a technical report on the Management of type II diabetes in Children and Adolescents. This information is timely, given that a disease which in recent years was only found in adults, now affects millions of children. In fact, one in three new diagnosed cases of type II diabetes is in patients younger than 18 years old. Type II diabetes is a disease caused by a problem in the way the body uses or makes insulin. Insulin is required to move glucose from the blood into the cells for energy. When insulin can’t do that, glucose in the blood rises and causes short term and long
32 www.cedarcitymag.com
term symptoms/damage. Short term symptoms may include headaches, increased thirst, fatigue, blurred vision and dizziness. The most significant long term damage is neurological disorders effecting the eyes, kidneys and feet. Type II diabetes is preventable. Attention to healthy eating, physical activity and weight management are important. Children should be encouraged, in a positive way, to incorporate all three into a healthy lifestyle. When it comes to healthy eating, keep the message positive. Instead of telling your children what they can’t have, focus on what they can. Fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, lean proteins and healthy fats should be emphasized. When you add in lots of the good
Health & Wellness
Table 1 stuff, it tends to crowd out the bad! I would suggest using the diagram in Table 1 to educate yourself and your children on how to build a balanced meal. By making 1/2 of your plate vegetables, you automatically control the portions on the other side of the plate. Here are some ideas on how to make meal times fun: • Add one new food each week for variety and to introduce your
children to new tastes! For example, ever tried millet? It cooks in the same water to grain ratio as rice and is just as simple to make. • Involve the whole family in weekly meal plans. • Let the kids choose what new vegetable they may want to try and look up recipes together on how to prepare them. • At the grocery store, let your children pick out a fruit they would like for snacks that week. • Save time on meal preparation by enlisting help from the whole family. You can even take an hour on the weekend to spend time in the kitchen together prepping some foods for the week. • W hen your children pack their lunches for school, encourage them to think about the plate method above.

Dr. Erik Gulbrandsen on Adolescent Checkups By Kristy Ann Pike Having a difficult time talking to your teenager about maturation? Screen time? Drug abuse? Depression? Many of the subjects that cause teens and their parents to blush, stammer, or just leave the room are exactly the topics a physician will cover in a typical adolescent checkup. According to family practice physician Dr. Erik Gulbrandsen of Intermountain Canyon View Clinic in Parowan, “Often parents don’t feel comfortable talking about sexual health and difficult topics. When I bring it up in a routine appointment, the teenager may blush, but the topic now opens up for parents to continue the discussion in the home.” Below is Dr. Gulbrandsen’s short list of “things we need to talk about.” Auto safety. “Accidents are still the number-one cause of death for teens.” Your teen’s physician can reinforce what you’re already saying about seat belts, speed limits, texting or drinking while driving, and showing off. “It can be difficult to overcome the prevailing theme that you’re not cool if you go the speed limit. Our kids need to know that what we are trying to do is prolong their lives.” Alcohol and drug use. “Prescription drug abuse is becoming a huge issue.” According to the Centers for Disease Control, Utah has the fourth-highest prescription drug overdose rate in the nation. (www.cdc. gov) “The problem is that adolescents get introduced to prescription drugs from mom or dad or grandparents or friends. If parents are taking prescription pain medications, they need to keep them locked up.” Sexual health. Many youths have questions about their quickly developing bodies that they may or may not be comfortable asking their parents. They also have questions about sex. “The goal with adolescents
is to try to prevent sexual activity. They are not at an age where their brains are fully developed, and they shouldn’t be making those decisions at that age. But what we know is that they will make those decisions, and not talking about it doesn’t work. I try About the Physician to help mom and dad create an open and Dr. Erik Gulbrandsen safe environment for those discussions.” is a family physician at Sports safety. “Kids who are active in Intermountain Canyon View Clinic in Parowan. For more a sport should see a doctor every year, information please call (435) whether the school requires it or not.” One 477-3317. major concern is to make sure that previous injuries have healed before starting a new season. “We especially need to be acutely alert for concussions. They are now considered traumatic brain injuries, and are a significant deal long-term.” Depression. “Suicide is the third-most common cause of death in teenagers. Depression often goes undiagnosed in adolescents. During a wellness visit I can talk to parents about signs to watch for.” Obesity. “I teach the 5-2-1-almost none rule. At least five fruits and vegetables, no more than two hours of multimedia time, one hour of exercise, and almost no sweets every day. If they can do that, we can significantly cut down on obesity. It just works.” Dr. Gulbrandsen recommends that parents join their teens in the doctor office. “I may send them out at one point, but I want them to be there to be actively engaged in our discussion”. “Adolescence is such a tender age. There are so many developmental changes happening, teens need routine doctor visits,” he concluded.

In a “no-fee” or “no cost” loan, the lender or bank will raise the interest rate slightly, maybe an eighth or a quarter of one percent higher than the current market rate on a normal loan. The lender is charging you the same interest rate as the APR, because there are no fees to calculate further into the rate. So, the actual interest rate or the APR is the same rate as the initial interest rate because there are no fees. A no-cost loan makes it easy to decide if it’s worth it to refinance or purchase. If you can refinance or purchase your mortgage loan without fees, while lowering your monthly payments and keeping the same number of years remaining to pay off your current loan, why wouldn’t you? Most banks and lenders today can customize a loan to fit your needs and look at loan costs (taking advantage of today’s record low interest rates) immediately, making it easy for you as a consumer to decide whether or not to refinance or purchase. Usually, it is a no-brainer if you are able to lower your interest and reduce your monthly payment with no added cost. If you can take out a “nofee” loan, and reduce your monthly payment than most likely it makes sense no matter how old you are! The only other factor I look at on a refinance for my clients is whether it would extend the amount of time it will take to pay off your existing loan. For example, if we are refinancing a 30-year fixed mortgage my client has had for the past four years, I like to make sure the option remains to pay the new loan off in 26 years if they so choose. Thereby, the client reduces their current interest rate, lowers their payment, and keeps the same amortization schedule as we have on the existing loan, for no added cost. To answer my original question: Yes! There truly is a no-cost loan out there. Lenders can give you various options to consider with your refinance or purchase.
No-Cost Mortgage Loans By Brandon Hansen Is there such a thing as a no-cost mortgage loan? I get this question fairly often. On the radio you hear one of the largest mortgage lenders in the country, Quicken Loans, advertise that today’s mortgage rates are at historic lows and that the 30-year fixed rate is at 3.75% with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 3.95%. The actual APR is 3.95%, because of the associated loan costs upfront, which include origination points from the bank, processing and underwriting charges, and other fees. If you incorporate these costs into the loan on the front end and subtract the loan amount by these costs, then the actual interest rate on an annual basis is a result of a slightly higher APR. Some banks or lenders charge higher fees and a lower initial interest rate, while others charge lower fees and a higher initial rate. Consequently, the APR’s can end up the same.
