2020, in Seaside.
Mark was born in Los
Angeles, California, to Joseph
and Norma (Calederone)
Terranova, on May 9, 1955.
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.
Mark was fond of his
memories playing football,
especially the opportunity he
had to play in the Tangerine
Bowl and to be on a Western
Athletic Conference cham-
pionship team. 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-

abilities Commission from
1995 to 1997.
Over the years he coached

Shirlie Ann Defoe,
born July 1, 1936, drove
her buggy to heaven on
Aug. 11, 2020, after a
swift bout with cancer.
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.
