ow hard do I need to work?
That’s one question among many in the “Fit
for Life” class at Hood River Middle School, a
curriculum developed by health and wellness
teacher Stacy Claus over the past 14 years, and
now vigorously presented to students by teacher Kyle Turn-
er, with assistance from parent volunteer Marge Gale.
Topics include the benefits of fitness (why we should do
this?), assessing one’s fitness, and, ultimately creating and
implementing a personal fitness program.
“Fit for Life is essentially Personal Training 101,” noted
Claus, a long-time teacher in the Hood River County School
District who is currently on maternity leave.
“Hopefully, kids learn what they can do to stay in shape
once they are out of school or no longer have a coach pre-
scribing their workout for them,” Claus said.
On a typical afternoon, the students can be seen outdoors
recording their at-rest pulse, then running or jumping rope
or doing other heart rate-raising activities, followed by
checking and recording their pulse in the heart rate lab in
their notebooks. The lab asks questions such as, “how long
did it take your heart rate to return to the original rate of
beating at rest?” and “could you improve your physical con-
dition? What type of exercise should you do?” The curricu-
lum lists plenty of types of exercise, along with tips for
stretching, weight control, and nutrition.
To answer the “how hard do I need to work” question,
students can follow a chart that lists weight loss, anaerobic
strength and lactate tolerance as benefits of expending
higher and higher percentages of maximum heart rate for
durations of an hour, 15-40 minutes, and 1-5 minutes.
Students learn that the “why exercise” is all about weight
maintenance, better sleep, reduction of depression and
stress, better academic performance, increased muscle
mass, and the social benefits. Students learn about metabo-
lism, weight management, and nutrition. They also explore
some of the reasons behind common health-related dis-
eases such as obesity, diabetes, and eating disorders.
“Students discuss healthy body image, as well as com-
mon fitness myths and outside pressures from the media to
confirm to a certain size,” Claus said.
The model for the class is half lesson/lecture and half
physical activity.
“Some kids enter the quarter moaning about the written
work, quizzes, and project, but, more than any other PE
class I’ve ever taught, students thank us, year after year, for
providing them with the tools to create a lifetime of health
and wellness,” Claus said.
Fit for Life is sort of like one big science experiment
where an eighth grader gets to use his or her own body as
the subject. “Students report that they are often surprised
by how good they feel after participating in the 9-week
course,” Claus said.
Claus said the class “morphs into something greater each
year.” The curriculum is based on a high school FFL class
developed by Human Kinetics, but “there was nothing on
the market appropriate specific middle school audience that
needs to move!” Claus said.
“Over the years, I have created a 40-page workbook that
serves as a text for the class. It’s always changing. I am very
thankful to have Kyle as a new PE partner. Both of us have
a background in exercise science and nutrition, and that is
the foundation of every lesson we teach.”

Gorge Dog, owned by Lisa Willis Wiltsie, will
celebrate its 15th anniversary in November.
Located at 412 Oak Street, it’s a business plan
that reflects Wiltsie’s love of dogs.
“Sitting on the library lawn with my husband
one day, we started commenting on how
many dogs there were in Hood River,” Wiltsie
said. “I have been doing retail since I was 16 —
I worked for many different department stores
during my career, including Front Street Sail-
boards (the space prior to Big Winds). I
thought I could bring a fresh idea for selling
fun and functional items for dogs and novelty
gift items for their humans.”
People assume Gorge Dog’s products are
more expensive than chain stores, but Wiltsie
disagrees. Besides competitively priced mer-
chandise, she also offers many specialty items
not found in other stores.
Take her top sellers — collars and toys. “I
pride myself on our collar selection,” she said.
“I have a diverse selection of collars for dogs
who swim, wedding collars, special occasion
collars, reflective collars and just plain fun col-
lars.”
She’s also constantly searching the market
for indestructible dog toys. “Some have come
close, but there are just those dogs who can
get through anything — my dog being one of
those,” she said. “We carry squeakies, rubber,
ropes, leather, light up balls, Frisbees and lots
of plush. We try to include large and small
dogs in our collection.”
The store is, of course, dog-friendly. “This is
