12A • May 22, 2015 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com ODOT plants trees along Highway 101 A view from the east side of U.S Highway 101, just north of the Sunset Boulevard entrance, where a young shore pine, left, has been planted next to a young vine maple, right. On April 28 and 29, the Oregon Department of Transportation plant- ed three tree species along both sides of the highway where the department removed about 55 trees of dif- ferent sizes in March. Filling in the gaps along Cannon Beach’s scenic byway are seven 8-foot- tall shore pines, eight 5-gallon vine maples and 20 1-gallon red elder- berry trees, according to Mark Buffington, the transportation main- tenance manager in Clatskanie who arranged the tree planting. ERICK BENGEL PHOTO Mogadam hopes to dispel myths, raise awareness about nutrition Mogadam from Page 1A It also pays to read nu- trition facts and track the number of calories — and the kinds of calories — one consumes daily: carbs, fats, proteins, sodium, etc. “With most of us, we don’t know our numbers,” he said. “The numbers add up real quick.” Becoming self-aware Before Mogadam earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education and a master’s degree in exercise physiology — both from San Diego State University — he worked at an inten- sive care unit in Modesto, Calif., as a high school se- nior. Though he played sports — which, he said, saved him from getting into trou- ble — Mogadam always knew he came from a family predisposed to Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes. He experi- enced ¿rsthand what a rela- tive’s chronic illness can do, not only to the patient but to his or her loved ones. “When you have a fami- ly, it’s no longer just about you. If you have kids, and you got a husband or wife, your health directly has an impact beyond just things you’ve got to deal with,” he said. “When you’re raising a family and you’re on ben- e¿ts, you really can’t afford to get sick.” He decided he would do whatever he could to help others realize that such ill- nesses are avoidable. While at university, Mogadam worked at a hos- pital doing electrocardio- gram (ECG) monitoring, and, as a grad student, at a cardiac rehabilitation cen- ter. Later on, in Seattle, he worked as a personal train- er, a physical education director, and a health and well-being director. Time and again, he has met people who changed their lives by making small adjustments to their routine. There’s the woman in her mid-40s on blood pressure medication who didn’t know she was eat- ing two days’ worth of salt in a single meal. And the woman who would drink more than 30 cups of cof- fee a day and couldn’t ¿g- ure out why she had trou- ble sleeping. After becoming more self-aware about their diets and lifestyles, both women changed them, he said. The ¿rst woman soon cut her medication in half, and the second got to a point where she could sleep again, he said. Spreading the word Mogadam, who lives with his wife, Ellen Boyle, keeps himself busy spread- ing the ¿tness gospel. He is currently promot- ing a “mobile garden” pro- gram for local schools — devised by his co-worker Miki Souza and his prede- cessor — in which students take donated shopping carts lined with gardening paper, ¿ll them with soil and grow their own fresh edibles. In collaboration with Clatsop County 4-H, Moga- dam is running a “preseason teen conditioning” program at Astoria High School, where students not playing a sport can sign up for 40 to 45 minutes of guided phys- ical activity. Soon he will launch a six-week “Walk With Ease” program through the American Arthritis Foun- dation for the seniors of a housing facility in Astoria, a program he hopes to hand off to the residents once his role in it is ¿nished. And, with each venture, he promotes the nutritional- ly sound life, often pointing people to the OSU web- site foodhero.org, a free resource full of simple, healthful recipes. The sooner one picks up healthy habits, the better off one will be over the long run — not least because, “as we age, we usually don’t get less stressed, we get more, with family life, work, kids,” he said. Mogadam knew a car- diologist from Indian who observed that, in the United States, young people tend to trade in their health to make money; they focus on their careers and ignore their mental and physical well-being. Eventually, the cardiolo- gist said, when these people get older and the illnesses of aging begin to take their toll, they need to spend that money to become healthy again. “But that model doesn’t work,” Mogadam said. “You can’t always trade in your money to get your health back, so pay atten- tion to it.” You’ll notice the difference.
