He went to school at Canoga Park High School, where he was a standout football and track and fi eld athlete. He received football all- city and all-state honors in high school, and was a defen- sive back and tailback on the Brigham Young University football team from 1973 to 1977.

He gradu- ated with both his bache- lor’s and master’s degrees in recreational therapy from Brigham Young. Most recently, Mark worked as a private coun- selor in Seaside. Mark was recognized by Gov.

She is survived by her son, Matt Ziegler; daughter-in-law, Annette Ziegler; sister, Gloria Davis; five grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grand- children; five nieces; six nephews; and many greats. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ruth and Graydon Pace; son, Mark Ziegler; and sisters, Hallie Burch and Claire Nichols. She was raised in Can- non Beach, Oregon, and graduated from Seaside High School in 1954. During her younger years, Shirlie had many jobs, such as paper routes, babysitting, trail guide and restaurant work. She felt that what she learned from elders was her education. In the 1960s, she was a deputy city recorder for Cannon Beach. She moved to La Pine, Ore- gon, in 1970, and began her real estate career. Eventually, Shirlie became an escrow bro- ker and owned Cascade Realty. Shirlie attended her first Ian Tyson concert in 1980 and knew right away she was hooked and would be a fan forever. She was surprised he didn’t have a fan club, so she offered her services to start one. He graciously accepted, and she had the honor and privilege of being Tyson’s Fan Round Up president for 40 years. Moving again in 1990, this time to the small town of McDermitt, Nevada, she went from real estate contracts to the night life. She owned and operated the Desert Inn Bar and Casino. Visiting friends in Tuc- son, Arizona, Shirlie fell in love with the area and made her final move there in 2006. Shirlie spent the last 14 years working at Rincon Country West RV Resort in sales. She made many, many good friends and acquaintances during this time selling 300 park models. She loved all her family, friends, horses, Shih Tzu puppies, cow- boys, country music, sun- shine and the beach. She retired in April. In lieu of flowers, please hug the people you love, and remember every day is a gift. Shirlie has requested no service, so a Smile- box photo slideshow will be created in her honor.

SPOTLIGHT ON HEALTH Sponsored by Columbia Memorial Hospital ‘Back to school’ in a pandemic A s I’m writing this, many families still don’t know when or if their children will be able to return to school in the fall. While you might decide to put off buying new backpacks, there are some back-to-school preparations you shouldn’t neglect. KELLY PEEKSTOK, MD, MPH Pediatrician CMH Pediatric Clinic Even years after school ends, many of us still feel a rush of energy and a sense of renewal in the fall. It’s a time for learning, growing and reconnecting with friends. Please use this time to help a child you care about be well physically and emotionally. Health checks At the CMH Pediatric Clinic, we often see a lot of kids at this time of year for their annual well-child visit. These visits are an important part of protecting your child’s long-term health. Rest assured that we are doing everything we can to keep you and your child safe while in the clinic. We schedule well- child visits at the beginning of the day and have a separate waiting room for people coming in for sick visits. Our medi- cal assistants disinfect the exam rooms after each patient and the entire clinic is thoroughly cleaned nightly. At your child’s well visit, the pediatrician or nurse prac- titioner will check that your child is growing and reaching developmental milestones, talk with you about any health concerns, and screen for mental health issues. It’s also vital that you keep your child up-to-date on vaccines (per CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines), even if they won’t be attending in-person classes at school. Kids need to socialize During the pandemic, I’ve seen many toddler- to school- aged children who are having difficulty reaching their devel- opmental milestones in social skills, such as sharing, making friends, being patient, etc. These are skills that we often learn in school, on sports teams and with friends. It’s very import- ant that you child have time to socialize with other children. Virtual play dates are great, but masked activities out- doors are also considered low-risk. You might try taking a bike ride or playing lawn games. Some families have agreed to create a “COVID circle” of up to 10 people who all agree to practice social distancing with everyone outside the circle. Schooling at home It looks like some or all of the 2020-2021 school year will be done remotely. Families who have adapted well to remote schooling have one thing in common—routine. Keeping a daily routine will improve your child’s emo- tional well-being, school performance and behavior. Just like a school day, your child should wake up, do their morning hygiene, get dressed, and eat a healthy breakfast. Depending on the age of the child and the routine that works best for your family, you might do school work in the morning, eat lunch, then spend the afternoon doing arts and crafts, chores and playing outside. I strongly recommend designating an area or room in your home as the “school zone,” meaning that only school work is performed in that area. This helps kids stay on-task and provides them with a sense of separation between school and home. If you have an older child who will be home alone, sit down together to talk about expectations. Hold them accountable, just like you would if they were at school. Consider using a daily checklist together so that they know what they need to accomplish each day, including age-appro- priate chores to help them feel like they’re contributing to the family. If your child has special needs such as ADHD or a learn- ing disability, you may be facing some additional challenges as school starts up again. Be proactive about contacting your pediatrician if you think your child’s medications or therapies need to be adjusted. Coping with anxiety and depression You may notice that your child has been acting out. Talk with the other adults in their life. Be sure that you’re consis- tent with your expectations for behavior and with discipline. Make time to talk with your child. Ask what’s on their mind. Answer their questions about the pandemic and current events honestly and at a level they can understand. The start of a new school year may also trigger feelings of anxiety and depression, especially among teens who feel like they’re missing out or who are worried about the future. If your child withdraws from family, friends or activities they enjoy, call your pediatrician for an evaluation. Our behavioral health consultants offer in-person and virtual visits. Sometimes it helps to have someone outside the family to talk with. Kids are very receptive to a parent’s emotional state. They will follow your lead in dealing with difficult emotions, so be sure to seek help when you need someone to talk with. ______________________________ Dr. Kelly Peekstok is a pediatrician with the CMH Pediatric Clinic.
