A NOTE ABOUT ‘REMODELING’

DEAR READERS,

This summer I have embarked on several remodeling projects around my house – the result of working at home so much and fully absorbing all the projects that needed to be done. They have been good changes, but have required a lot of time, thought and effort. Some of the changes wouldn’t be noticed by most visitors to our home, but are important changes, nonetheless. Similarly, Northwest50Plus has been undergoing it’s own internal changes – ones that may not be noticeable to you, but are essential to the overall function of the magazine. I’d like to introduce our new publisher, Jennifer McCammon. She brings 25 years of experience in the magazine and newspaper industry as a publisher, editor, marketing pro, sales manager and business owner. She is excited to help grow the magazine in value and strength for our business partners and readers. Happy reading!

Michelle, Editor

From the publisher Hello! I am passionate about this community, and eager to serve you. My first opportunity to do so was improving distribution to best serve you during the pandemic. Many organizations that have so generously provided convenient locations for Northwest50Plus to be available are currently unable do so. We thank our partner businesses and look forward to being with you again soon. Happily, we have secured alternate locations — 600 total — that are open, convenient, and frequently visited. New locations include all Bi-Mart stores (look for the racks with the Northwest50Plus banner), grocery stores, and other fine businesses. Advertisers will be glad to know the new plan is truly improved, reaching 70,250 readers per month, nearly 1 million readers annually. More than ever, we know the information, resources and companionship of your magazine is important. If you prefer the convenience of receiving Northwest50Plus by mail, subscriptions are easy and affordable — just call Doreen at 503-304-1323 and she’ll set you up. We continue working to make it easy to find your magazine, and to provide content that is meaningful, timely and fun. Thank you for your patience during these challenging times. And thank you for being part of the Northwest50Plus family. We love serving you.

Once the expanded walls and roof were installed, much of the construction work has been happening just out of the public eye. In July, they installed the electrical system and drywall, then painted. In August, they continued to renovate interior walls and finishes, install ceiling gridwork and complete the HVAC system. By the end of August, the plan was to complete more outside work, such as pouring concrete and landscaping. “The blueprint of the addition is up, but it doesn’t look like much is happening,” Sconce says of the mid-summer efforts. The wing of offices will remain in place, as will the current great room and patio. The center will be painted in natural colors of blue and green, with the same gray-blue painted on the outside. The new addition will match or accent the current building. “Something worth mentioning is that we will have two inner courtyards,” Sconce says. “One, because our new front entrance will change. People will enter from the west and there will be a courtyard setting before going into the main entrance.” The courtyard will have benches sitting amongst landscaping so visitors “can come and feel like they are outdoors,” she says. The new great room will have roll-up garage doors so the center can offer smaller classes in another courtyard. The woodshop will also be connected through the courtyard, rather than appearing to be in a separate building as it is now. “If it looks how it looks on paper and how I envisioned it, it will all be nice,” Sconce says. In fact, she says watching all the changes take place has been “pure elation,” she says. “It’s literally so exciting to come to work every day, to see the process happening. We’re

building to the future, which I love. We are creating space and community for our people, and that’s great. Before, we were limited on what we could offer because of space and size, so to have four more programmable spaces for folks is important.” Not to mention that the new great room is full of large windows that overlook the idyllic setting that Campbell has along the banks of the McKenzie River. “If you’re doing a seminar or long class in that room, it might be hard to stay focused,” she says. ☸ Please turn to page 10 to learn more about how Campbell staff managed the shutdown and stayed connected with local patrons.

NORTHWEST LIVING | HISTORY

100 Years of Women’ s Suffrage By VA N ESSA SA LV I A

LOOKING BACK ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS HISTORIC MOVEMENT

LTHOUGH THE PANDEMIC HAS WREAKED havoc on in-person museum visits (among other things), the exhibits have continued in many cases.

At the Lane County History Museum, the exhibit for the past three months has been “Equality and Nothing Else: 100 Years of the League of Women Voters.” The museum has been closed to visitors, but some items are available to peruse online. The League of Women Voters was founded in 1920 by leaders of the women’s suffrage movement, just six months before the 19th amendment was ratified and women won the right to vote on Aug. 26, 1920. It reads, in part, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.” Sounds simple enough, right? Yet, it actually took decades of fighting before the government even started to take the idea seriously that women should vote. For 72 years, women petitioned, marched, picketed and lobbied Congress for an amendment to the Constitution to enfranchise women. Under the leadership of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and other women’s rights pioneers, the women’s right to vote became a mass movement, finally winning approval by the 35 states required to ratify it. Having reached their initial goal, the organizers now needed to help the 20 million newly-enfranchised women become informed about issues. They formed the League of Women Voters to help women get involved in politics. State and local chapters soon followed as women applied their new power to influence public policy. The League of Women Voters of Lane County was founded in 1939 with an ambitious program of improving general welfare, A family in 1920s Eugene represents the time when women acquired the right to vote. 6 NORTHWEST 50 PLUS SOUTH VALLEY | SEPTEMBER 2020

raising the standards of government and providing a system of finance that is adequate to meet the state’s needs. “The Lane League has addressed a wide variety of issues in its 80 years, from juvenile delinquency to providing affordable daycare to opposing a nuclear power plant on the Oregon Coast,” says Kathy Madison, chair of the Centennial Celebration Committee of the Lane County League. The national and local leagues that formed in the wake of the voting activism were intended to give a framework of support to women across the country who wanted to exercise their right to vote. In fact, though “women” is still in the name, the organization has been open to men since members voted to admit men in 1974. The change, which passed by a margin better than 2 to 1, was controversial because some members believed that female members would feel intimidated by a male presence in its ranks. Others believed that there was a hypocrisy in fighting for equal rights for women but not extending membership rights to men. In a 1974 New York Times article, League President Lucy Wilson Benson said, “Exclusion of men perpetuates a form of discrimination which I believe it’s time to end. There’s an element of hypocrisy in our fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment when we continue to deny equal league rights to men. If we’re ready for the ERA, then we darn well ought to be ready for men.” The league is nonpartisan, but it has always worked to educate its members and the general populace about issues that are important to democracy and public policy. “Initially, important issues were child labor and working hours in general,” Madison says. “But that agenda soon broadened. Over its 80 years, the Lane League has taken on a variety of issues, including advocating for Eugene’s city manager model of government, long-term support for prevention and control of air pollution, addressing the need for affordable day care and opposing a nuclear power plant on the Oregon Coast, Today, the local league is focused on issues such as funding the public library, pesticide use in Oregon and climate change. Another issue the members are tackling is how the P H OTO CO U RT ESY O F L A N E CO U N T Y H I STO RY M U S E U M

legislature draws political boundaries for congressional and legislative districts. “We study the issue, write a report and reach a consensus on what our position will be before taking action,” Madison says. “We don’t dictate to our membership what our position will be. On a national issue like climate change, we coordinate efforts with local, state and national organizations each working at their level.” Madison has been a member for 25 years and became more active since retiring about six years ago. She worked in government affairs and was quite involved in current issues, but she wasn’t able to devote much time to the league before retiring. “Being concerned or curious about local issues is a motivator for people to join,” she says. “As a group, we decide what local issues we’re going to take up. You might join the league because you’re interested in one particular issue and then when you are a member you realize how many other issues there are that you’re also interested in.” ☸

Of note

When there’s not a pandemic happening, the group hosts monthly lunches and speakers. Small groups of about 10 people meet and discuss a variety of issues. Anyone over 16 can join. Annual dues are $70 for individuals or $105 for a household.

“I’ve got stuff to do.” Fortunately, while he began his recovery at the home of his sister, Sheila Johnson, he had a strong support network of family, friends and colleagues to help him recover and help keep things on track at OSU. “He had a steady stream of friends and work colleagues who would come by almost every day and sit and chat,” Johnson says. “I know it meant so much to him.” He stayed with his sister for five weeks, spending a lot of time on the couch with her cat, Hoopdie. He did not want to take pain medications, other than Tylenol. “Not moving is what I did,” he explains. “I would just go into something like a yoga state, just not move, except my finger to turn a page of a book.” He would stay like that for hours at a time, with Hoopdie laying across his lap. “To have my sister’s care and the company of her cat was incredible,” Milstein says. A little less than three weeks after his surgery, he made it to his students’ final exam. “I was barely able to move, but I got there, just to assure them I was OK,” he says. When he started cardiac rehabilitation at Good Sam his recovery went well because he had been pretty fit to start with. He regained his strength and lost 35 pounds, and credits the discipline he’s developed as a scientist, competitive athlete and dancer.

“He really worked hard,” Johnson says. “I was very proud of him.” Milstein points out that with cardiac rehab, you might end up feeling even better than before. “You’re going to learn you have a new 100%,” he says. “You thought you were at 100% before, but you weren’t. All of a sudden, you’re back to where you should be and you’re saying ‘Holy moly! It’s like somebody put a new engine in.’” He finished cardiac rehab just as the spring weather started getting nice enough to start exercising outside. He walks seven to 10 miles every day, and also goes to the gym where he rides a stationary bike and lifts weights. His healthy habits include watching what he eats — lots of vegetables, fruit, poultry, salmon, eggs just once a week — and eating smaller portions. “Rather than eat a whole sandwich, I eat a half a sandwich,” he says. Milstein hopes his experience will inspire others to pay attention to how they are feeling and to gradual changes. ☸

After social restrictions were put in place and senior centers were required to shut down, Sconce says it had a dramatic impact on her regular patrons. Not only after they closed, Campbell staff started calling as many patrons as they could, checking in on them, letting them know they were cared about, and gathering a sense of community. “We made lots and lots of phone calls,” Sconce says. The staff brainstormed ways they could reach out to their regular visitors and how to continue to conduct some classes and lectures although they couldn’t physically meet in the building. One idea they had was to put together bingo packets, hand them out based on interest. In early August, they had a drivethrough ice cream sandwich soiree, just to make some connections with local residents. “With Lane County being in Phase 2, we have been able to partially re-open,” Sconce says. “I have been holding some classes at Lamb Cottage, which I manage, usually for auxiliaries and rentals.” They have been having classes where class members can safely be distance, including tai chi, writing and other fitness. “We’re trying to keep people active as much as we can,” Sconce says. Some come to the center just to visit with one another, play music and get out of the house. “They are recreating and still connecting,” she says. “About a month into the shutdowns, I noticed there was a lot of frustration, and a lot of boredom, but also a lot of resiliency. They’ve been through world events before, and they have a ‘we can’ and ‘we will get through this’ attitude.”

TIPS TO KEEP YOURSELF READY FOR YOUR NEXT OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

which may lead to an increase in tripping or falls. If you add weight, please make sure it is evenly loaded and close to your body. ☸

OR MANY PACIFIC NORTHKimberly Z. Miller is director of westerners, we love to boast Health and Wellness and Healthy Living about being an hour from for the Eugene Family YMCA. a mountain, an hour from the coast and just minutes from countless hikes and outdoor adventures. Plentiful parks and trails, and the temperate climate draw many of us outside year-round. Trail running, hiking or neighborhood strolls all offer a simple and effective way to improve overall health. Benefits include improved cardiovascular health and balance, and the mental and emotional relief gained from spending time in nature. With a few simple moves using a bench or table, you can turn your time outside into a full body workout. Make sure if you are using a surface that is publicly accessible take steps to sanitize it and yourself before and after. Consider adding walking sticks or extra weight to give your outside time a boost. Walking sticks are a great way to get your upper body in on the action by recruiting muscles in your chest, upper back, shoulders, triceps and core. They also help with balance and fall prevention. Carrying water or snacks for longer journeys is always a good idea. When you grab your backpack, experiment with adding a little extra weight. Additional weight increases the calorie burn and can improve bone density. Note: Adding ankle or wrist weights is not as safe since they can affect your gait

↑BENCH SQUAT: Stand half a step in front of the bench, feet shoulder width apart, press your weight back into your heels and shift your hips back, hinging slightly forward as you keep your eyes forward, bend your knees keeping them in-line with your feet and lower your hips toward the bench. Touch the bench but try not to sit all the way down, press through your heels and stand back up. Repeat 8-10 times for 1-3 sets.

12 NORTHWEST 50 PLUS SOUTH VALLEY | SEPTEMBER 2020

↑BENCH STEP-UPS: This is a more challenging move so make sure you are well balanced and have a sturdy surface to step onto. Place your left foot fully onto the bench, press through your foot stepping onto the bench and standing tall. To add a challenge you can drive your right knee up as you step. Complete 10 reps before switching feet or alternate sides for extra balance work. 1-3 sets for each leg.

←BENCH PUSH-UP: Note: the lower the surface you place your hands on, the more challenging this exercise can be. Place your hands on the bench, shoulder width apart and walk your feet out until your torso and legs are straight and your shoulders are squared over your wrists. Engage your core to keep your back from swaying and inhale as you lower your chest toward the bench. Try to lower yourself as a unit and try not let your chin, chest or hips get there before the rest of you. Press through your hands as you exhale back to your starting position. Repeat 8-10 times for 1-3 sets. →BENCH DIPS: Start sitting at the edge of the bench with your hands tucked in close to your hips. Place your feet flat on the ground with about a 90 degree bend in your knees. Slowly shift your hips forward and off of the bench so that your weight is in your heels and your palms. Lower your hips while squeezing your shoulder blades so your elbows go behind you and not out to the sides. Press through your hands and straighten your arms back to the starting position. To increase the difficulty, extend your legs farther out infront of you.

You may increase the serving slightly for situations of added anxiety, but using it consistently will give the best results.” Tralain Benner of Mama T’s Pet Products says CBD has shown to be very effective in treating many doggy ailments: seizures, arthritis, pain and inflammation, anxiety, allergies, focus for training, helping with grooming, and more. “CBD oil, or tincture, is the most effective method for pets,” says Benner, who concentrates sales online. “Second is treats. Topicals can be used on their skin, but it is the least effective method of administration.” According to Dr. Klein, CBD is also used because of its anti-inflammatory properties, cardiac benefits, anti-nausea effects, appetite stimulation, anti-anxiety impact, and for possible anti-cancer benefits, although there’s no conclusive data on this use. Always check with your veterinarian first before using a CBD product, the AKC advises. “The side effects are similar to the side effects in people,” Michael says. “Dry mouth, tremors, low blood pressure, lightheadedness, and drowsiness.” If any of these are noticed, Michael advises cutting back on the product dosage. “If you give too much, especially in a toy breed, they may vomit,” Marsing says. “In that case, give it a day or two. Back way off of the serving size and try again.” Ellen adds that most pets, if given too much, will just take a nap for a while, “which could be a good thing.” ☸

recommended reading BIG MIKE, UNCLE DAN AND ME: HOW I BEAT 20TH CENTURY NEW YORK STATE’S MOST CORRUPT POLITICAL MACHIINE BY PAUL VAN BUSKIRK (BOOKBABY)

In the 1960s, Cohoes, New York was run by one of the most notoriously corrupt political machines in the nation. In this political memoir, Dr. Paul Van Buskirk reveals the never-before told

story behind an independent Citizens’ Party’s historic victory over the system. He recounts how, as a 24-year-old college professor and engineer, he led the movement to liberate his upstate community from 40 years of political corruption. He discusses specific strategies to achieve recognition as an All-America City and Model City. It also relates the role of the press. The New York Times

(1973) published a piece on his stateof-the-art management techniques that provides advice for communities governed by entrenched political organizations. It is a book for our times. Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, BookBaby and through other major booksellers. ☸ ▶ Reviewed by Maggi White

NORTHWEST LIVING | YARD & GARDEN

Your Fall Garden

By G RAC E P E T E R S O N

AYING GOODBYE TO AUGUST IS NEVER EASY for me. Heck, saying goodbye to July, isn’t easy for me. I love summer and being outdoors. I never get tired of sunny skies, buzzing bees and balmy nights to view the stars. With September I feel all the more inclined to make every moment count and enjoy the outdoors as much as I possibly can before the rain and cooler temperatures return. With that in mind, the last few years I’ve made an effort to incorporate more fall blooming plants into my landscape. While anticipating their floral show all season, they offer something new and fresh at a time when I can use a good mental boost. Practically speaking, they serve to take over for plants that have finished their show. They also complement the plants that are still going strong, like hardy fuchsias, asters and dahlias. I thought I’d mention three worthy candidates that are easy to grow and are sure to be a nice summer’s end reward. Want a fragrant mint that doesn’t take over the entire yard? Chinese mint shrub (Elsholtzia stauntonii) doesn’t have the spreading roots that we associate with mint. Chinese mint shrub is a clumping, well-behaved perennial with fragrant leaves that is native to China and can be seen growing both near valley stream beds and also on dry hillsides. In other words, it’s a very adaptable plant. In late summer, fluffy spikes of magenta-pink flowers attract bees and other pollinators. I have mine in a mostly sunny mixed border. During spring and early summer it blends and looks good but not spectacular. But when the flowers emerge it transforms into a pleasing punctuation Above, Elsholtzia stauntonii is an adaptable Chinese mint shrub with fragrant leaves. 18 NORTHWEST 50 PLUS SOUTH VALLEY | SEPTEMBER 2020

point. Winter hardy to -30 degrees F., it will come back each successive year. Trumpet Spurflower (Isodon effuses, Rabdosia longituba) is a unique perennial from the mountains of Japan that will be equally at home here in an Oregon woodland or shade garden. During the growing season, nondescript, lanceolate leaves grow into either a tall, narrow plant or, if you’re like me and tip prune it throughout the season, it’s a four feet tall by two feet wide bushy plant. In fall the branch tips give way to wistful panicles of delft blue tubular flowers that continue the show for at least a month. A superb cut flower, Trumpet Spurflower will increase mildly in size each year and survive Pacific Northwest winters just fine. I have mine growing next to a hydrangea whose blossoms take on a burnished rosy color. The two work really well together, if I do say so myself. It took me a few years to figure out exactly where to situate Salvia glabrescens “Momobana” in my garden. Too much shade and it grows tall, leans toward the light, flops and doesn’t flower. Too much sun and it fries. Finally I think I have it figured out. It receives about two hours of early afternoon sun and is lightly shaded the rest of the day which makes for a well-shaped two foot tall and wide plant with unique, arrow-shaped leaves. In early fall, tropical looking two-toned pink flowers bloom on the tips of the stems and continue for several weeks. I have mine planted near an upright fuchsia bush with nearly the same colored flowers. Unlike a lot of Salvias, this one will be happy to receive regular moisture during the hot summer months. Also unlike a lot of Salvias, this one is winter hardy down to -15 degrees F. so no need to protect it during the winter months. All three plants are available at Dancing Oaks Nursery in Monmouth or visit dancingoaks.com. ☸
