About the film Physician and filmmaker, Delaney Ruston decided to make “Screenagers” when she found herself constantly struggling with her two kids about screen time.

Stories include Hannah, a 14-year-old victim of social media bullying that stemmed from her trying to hide her use of social media from her mom.

Curious older adults were awed by Patriot Hall when they gathered for the fourth annual Extraordinary Living Conference at Clatsop Com- munity College. Entering at upper street level, the oval indoor track circles a three- story view down to the gym- nasium floor. A commanding panorama of the Columbia River and Astoria can be seen through north and west windows that stretch from floor to ceiling of the state-of- the art building. Extraordinary Living focused on fitness this year because of the new center, said Leslie Morgan, one of the organizers. The conference held in Sep- tember, attracted 50 to 60 par- ticipants, who could choose three out of 12 breakout ses- sions. Choices included life-en- hancing topics such as how to create a happier body, geneal- ogy, the ship report, hiking and paddling trail opportunities, how to live with pain, danc- ing your way to fitness, smart phone apps, palliative care and senior care living options. Attendees enjoyed a sand- wich buffet by CCC’s Bandit Café. Sponsors gave out infor- mation during the event. One of the highlights of the event was sampling some of the activities. RiversZen Yoga co-owner Peggy Stevens asked the Happier Body and Acupunc- ture class if anyone had pain, scar tissue, joint replace- ments, headaches or posture issues. Hands went up to every question. She and instructor Wendy Hensley demonstrated the use of yoga therapy balls for massaging the connective tis- sue between muscles, called fascia. “We focus on what you do so you can live better in your body,” said Stevens. “None of us came with an instruction booklet on how we should be doing what with our body. “Our goal at RiversZen is Susan Cody Marco Davis leads a “Dancing Your Way to Fitness” class at the Extraordinary Living Conference at Clatsop Community College’s Patriot Hall. for you to learn some tech- niques for you to take home and do on your own.” Using small rubber therapy balls can improve circulation and help with plantar fasci- itis, sciatica, jaw and shoulder problems, Hensley said. As she demonstrated, par- ticipants joined in rolling the balls under their feet. They also tried leaning on the balls against the wall, while rolling shoulders and other exercises. A positive, good stretch is what both instructors encour- age. They stressed that their exercises are never meant to cause pain and that you should always be in control. Partnering in this session was Karen Kaufmann, an acu- puncturist with a degree in psychology. She helps people with stress management and depression, as well as pain at her Astoria acupuncture clinic. Stressors are a detriment to physiological, mental, emo- tional and behavioral health, Kaufmann said. To relax, she had every- one place their tongue on the roof of their mouth behind the teeth and breathe in through the nose to the count of four; hold for a count of seven; and exhale through the mouth for a count of eight; and repeat three times. She said this is a good exercise to do when you are feeling stressed or before bed. Acupuncture helps regulate and balance the nervous sys- tem, which relieves stress. Kaufmann also will be seeing patients and caregiv- ers at the new OHSU-Colum- bia Memorial Cancer Cen- ter. She said caregivers benefit from treatment because they are often overtaxed and feel guilty when they are working on themselves. In a mirrored, third-floor studio, Marco Davis led an exercise class. Seeing them- selves in the mirror helps par- ticipants check and adjust their movements. Women and men enjoyed the routine that focused on stretching. The Northwest Coast Trails Coalition hosted a section on water trails, edibles, bird watching and State Parks and National Park activities. Living Well Self-Manage- ment Workshops were dis- cussed by Alissa Dorman of Columbia Memorial Hospi- tal, which sponsors interactive workshops for chronic condi- tions, diabetes, chronic pain and cancer. Sponsors included Clat- sop Community College, ENCORE, FamilyCare Health, NorthWest Senior and Disabil- ity Services, Providence Sea- side Hospital and Columbia Memorial Hospital. Patriot Hall exercise facili- ties are open to the public from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday.
