othing brings a community together like the spirit of pride. Growing up in the Ralston school district, our family was always involved in some activity, whether it was cheering on our peers, helping our neighbors, or rooting for the home team.

As I have matured, my pride has grown to encompass all of Omaha. I am proud of the people in this city and the strides we are taking as a whole. I want other cities to see how great we are.

Pennants have been traditionally used as commemorative flags and trophies for sports teams. I encourage you to create your pennant to celebrate what you are most proud of—whether it is a sports team, vacation spot, institution, or your favorite person.

DIRECTIONS Cut out a 30 x 12" triangle of colored felt to act as the background of your pennant. Stiffen the felt by soaking it in liquid starch. Wring out the liquid and lay it somewhere flat to dry.

Once the felt is completely dry, iron it to get it nice and wrinkle free.

If you are concerned about burning the felt, use a press cloth.

Hop on the computer and try out some different fonts to see what you like. After you have typed out the name that you would like on your pennant, manipulate the letters so they get slightly smaller as they go to the right.

Print out the name and see how it looks in relation to your pennant.

If it looks correct, cut out each individual letter with scissors.

Place paper letters upside down on the white piece of felt and trace them lightly with a pen. Placing them upside down will ensure that you do not have any pen marks on your final letters.

Place felt letters onto the pennant and arrange them as desired.

Pick each individual letter up off the pennant, spray the back side with adhesive, and press it onto the pennant in the correct place.

Cut out a 1” strip of white felt to run along the left side of the banner, spray with adhesive, and press it onto the colored felt.

ACTIVITY

by Danielle Herzog

THERE ARE 2,584,841 ACTIVE GEOCACHES AND OVER SIX MILLION GEOCACHERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. 8窶ォerFamily 窶｢ July 2015

omahamagazine.com

Adventures inGeocaching THE GROWING SPORT TURNS A WALK IN THE PARK INTO A TREASURE HUNT.

“D

o you see it? Are we close?”

My children looked feverishly around as my husband held out the GPS app on his phone while stepping over branches and tree stumps.

The leaves crunched under our feet as we walked through the St. Columban Retreat Center’s grounds to find a hidden treasure.

No, we weren’t seeking lost gold or looking for my keys.

We were geocaching, an activity in which participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.

The sport has grown quickly along with the technology—the increasingly affordable technology—that has made it possible. According to Geocaching.com, the most-popular website dedicated to the activity, there are 2,584,841 active geocaches and more than six million geocachers throughout the world.

Gone are the analog days in which you had to navigate your way with compass and maps.

Now, with apps specifically for geocaching and GPS management, families can pick the level of difficulty and type of terrain they want to explore.

And we aren’t alone.

Omaha has its own group dedicated to geocaching in Nebraska. Nebraskache has more than 500 members of all ages throughout the state. Their Yahoo and Facebook groups are members-only, though all are welcome to join. They post their favorite caches, organize group outings, and even share clues and tips to finding the “treasure.”

Brady Holmes, 37, an experienced cacher who works as a change-control technician for Dell in Lincoln, started caching in 2011. “For me, it was a way to start exercising. I cached every other weekend and then I became extremely addicted and ended up caching every day for over 450 days. My first year I found over 2,000 caches.”

Although that number is on the high end, many people are hooked right from the start.

Kia Itsen, 38, an insurance industry staffer, says it’s an adventure her whole family has loved since they first started in 2014. Her 10-year-old daughter is now finding the caches herself and loving every minute of it. It’s not the amount of finds that attracts her but rather where the journey takes them. “There are many caches in Nebraska and geocaching takes me to so many places I would have never gone to otherwise.”

For our first adventure, we picked tasks that rated a measly 1.5 on the 10.0 scale.

We thought finding the canisters would be a breeze. And two out of the four times, it was. But even after 20 minutes of searching, we found that we struggled to find the others. We followed the directions, even read the clues included, but quickly realized that some things take a bit more time and experience.

The activity has gotten so popular in Nebraska that the state recently won the bid for the 2015 Geocoinfest, which will be held at Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland on Oct. 3. This traveling event will offer sessions on geocaching while also having an expo for products and supplies, as well as a kids’ area to introduce children to the activity.

We are hooked. We already have a plan to go back out to the caches we missed and are determined to find them on our next day off.

So whether you go as a family, with friends, or out on your own, geocaching is giving people an opportunity to experience new places while challenging them and leaving them wanting more.

bestofomaha.com

TIPS FOR THOSE NEW TO GEOCACHING: 1.

Join “Nebraskache” on Facebook or through Yahoo groups.

Go to events where you can meet other people who geocache and would be interested in going together.

2. Start simple. Go for the big, easy ones at first, then stretch your abilities gradually.

3. Bring a pen! There are log sheets in the canisters and you’ll need something to sign your name with.

4. The name of the cache is often a clue to its whereabouts.

5. Canisters come in all sizes.

Sometimes it takes several trips to a place before catching on to how they are hidden.

6. Learn the lingo.

Jennifer Nguyen SPEAKING UP AS MAYOR OF BOYS TOWN

10窶ォerFamily 窶｢ August 2015

omahamagazine.com

YOUNG HERO

by April Christenson photography by Sarah Lemke

J

ennifer Nguyen is bright and soft-spoken. Sitting in the living room of her family teachers’ home on the Boys Town campus, the high school senior thoughtfully considers her answer before explaining why she chose to run for mayor of Boys Town.

“This is my home,” Jennifer says, after a moment. “I want to give back to Boys Town.”

In May, the 17-year-old was elected the 115th mayor of Boys Town. Nguyen and Vice Mayor Tessa Miller are only the second female mayor-vice mayor duo in Boys Town’s history.

Nguyen wants to serve the community, her home since she was 12, that has done so much for her. After she graduates from high school, she would like to attend Wayne State College and study business. The future looks bright, but it wasn’t always quite like this.

“BEING ABLE TO ROLE MODEL FOR OTHERS IS REALLY NEAT TO ME.” -Jennifer Nguyen

“It was tough,” Nguyen says. “For a while, I wasn’t sure I’d get past junior year.”

Her family teachers, Scott and Kim Kavanaugh, affirm her statement, saying they have seen a remarkable change in her over the past four and a half years they have known her. Like many kids her age, Nguyen had trouble in school and her grades suffered, but she turned things around in a remarkable way.

“We’re just so proud of her,” Scott says. “She strives for excellence in everything she does. It was tough there for a while, but now she gets upset when she gets a B.” >

< Still,

when Nguyen first told them she wanted to run for mayor, the Kavanaughs were a bit surprised. It’s a lengthy, selective process.

Nguyen, who has always been a little reserved and reluctant to speak up in a group, would have to give a speech before the entire student body.

september 24-27 I centurylink center www.aksarbenrodeo.com

“We asked her, ‘Do you really want to do this?’” Kim says.

But Nguyen was sure.

“Ever since we were in eighth grade, my friends and I talked about it,” she explains. It was something she really wanted and she was willing to put herself out there to accomplish it.

With help from the Kavanaughs, Nguyen got endorsements from her teachers and community director. They created posters and pamphlets. She prepared to address the entire student body. And on May 5, the students voted and Nguyen was elected the 2015-2016 mayor of Boystown. She says she hopes other students will see her as a positive example.

“Being able to role model for others is really neat to me,” she says.

In addition to her new role as mayor, Nguyen is captain of the soccer team and a member of the color guard, student council, junior ROTC, and National Honors Society. Even with a busy schedule of school and extracurricular activities, she believes making time for service to others is important.

“Jennifer has always been a person who gives back,” Scott says. “She sees the needs of others.”

Boys Town founder Edward J. Flanagan conceived its student government system as a way for students to build character, citizenship, and a sense of community. In Nguyen, that legacy lives on.

“I want to make Boys Town feel like home for all of the students and encourage everyone to get involved.” omahamagazine.com
