Well its finally here, SUMMER! It is the most looked forward to but also dreaded time of the year. We all love being outside, playing sports, going to the lake or the park, ice cream and swimming pools but as

parents we also need to find ways to keep our Kid-Ohs entertained, active and creative. As a Working Mom (yup, I capitalized it, as it should be!) I know the frustration of trying to keep the kids off of their phones and get them outside when you arent home to monitor them. Modern parenting isnt like it was when we were kids, my mom literally booted us outside and locked the doors after breakfast. All of the neighborhood moms did too. Lunch was served at a different house every day and then you showed up at your own house sometime around dinner. Now when you try and bribe and cajole them outside they just roll their eyes and take a picture of you to send to all of their friends on Snap Chat. Well, at least thats what mine do.I hope that this issue gives you and your kids some

things to do and some ideas that might help beat the summer doldrums. You can learn about a local family making a mark on our community with their gardens and get some good info on a new local sport-lacrosse. And if you figure out all of the rules, let me know because my daughter just started playing and I am still a little clueless!We are trying to get our magazine straight into the

hands of everyone that wants it and make sure no one gets left out, so if you would like to continue to receive your free copy of Kid-oh! every other month, if you dont get it in the mail and would like to or if you know of someone who should get it-please make sure you are on the mailing by finding us on Facebook to sign up, stopping into The Free Press or by calling us at 507-625-4451, ext 7.Thank you for being so supportive of Kid-oh!

you enjoy the issue!

If you think back to when you were a child, you may just remember yourself digging in the dirt and working with your hands. Helping grandma and grandpa plant seeds, pull weeds, water plants and harvest a small bounty from their garden. Once an art that was a basic essential for life, growing food has fallen more and more into obscurity with each passing year. We have become almost entirely reliant on grabbing a quick bite to eat at a passing fast food restaurant and going to the grocery store to pick up what we need, not paying attention or really caring where the food has come from or what nutritional value it holds, if any.Our grandparents and great-grandparents had gardens

and sustained their families that way, said Erica Idso-Weisz, co-founder of Heart & Soil Community Gardens. We have really moved away from that because food is just readily available. But we want people to have access to good food. Ryan always says If you grow your own food and you are exercising and you are eating well you will just be well over all. That is a movement in itself.Those are the practices that the founders of Heart &

Soil Community Gardens, Erica & Ryan Idso-Weisz, planned to bring the community back to when they went in front of the Mankato City Council two years ago and pitched the idea of adding 20 Heart & Soil certified community gardens to the city by 2020.A huge part in what sustains us is that we are supported

by a two year State Health Improvement Program grant that is through Blue Earth County, said Erica. As well as the city of Mankato and the Center for Earth Spiritually and Rural Ministry up at the school Sisters of Notre Dame. They have been big entities in assisting us and being able to keep this project going and so we hope to continue to have, especially this garden and expansion gardens, going for ongoing years.Ryan and I have always been interested in getting

people access to healthy food and also a way to engage in the community, said Erica. Gardening, exercise, bringing community together. So we started having this conversation and we are really involved in what is called Transition Mankato.Mankato has become the 149th Transition City in the

United States, a concept that started over in the United Kingdom, that is interested in moving away from a fossil fuel dependency, bringing communities together and focusing on resiliency and cutting down on your carbon footprint. Some means of doing that might be a community garden, sustainable food systems, encouraging more biking and walking and other good environmental practices.As a part of Transition we had a community gathering

and community members were invited and community gardens were a part of the things that floated to the top along with chickens and more bike paths, said Erica.

Kid-oh! 0716 p01.indd 9 6/21/2016 11:12:16 AM


That was really exciting for us so we started going forward after the sustainability expo that was hosted at MSU two years ago.Heart & Soil Community Garden is based on two

tenants which you can find in the name itself, or what they call the Seeds of Significance. The first of which is the heart piece that really brings people together and focuses on community and being well.The heart piece is that the heart of the community is

its people and so we want people to come together and build relationships, said Erica. Once upon a time people would go next door and ask for a cup of sugar, we dont really do that anymore. We sort of joke that its not a cup of sugar now, we want people to go next door and ask for a cup of kale. We want to eat healthy and so encouraging people to have that kind of mindset when they are thinking about gardening.I live about a block and a half up and I love our

neighborhood. I have brought my 11 year old daughter down here for years, we would ice skate and wander in the woods, said Patti Ruskey, a gardener at Heart & Soil Community Gardens. Then I saw that this was happening. I love organic gardening and I love the idea of trying to grow whatever food we can and having kids involved and learning how to plant and grow it.Between a 40+ hour work week and juggling all the

other activities that we have in our lives, we dont always get the opportunity to go out into their neighborhoods and really get to know one another.Often households are working hard and long hours

and its not as traditional, therefore I think people are often exhausted when they come home and sometimes dont get outside to find that community or larger circle, said Patti. Sometimes its not like people dont want to know their neighbors or dont want to be friendly or to participate in things, its just that they are so tired. This is really low key so you can walk down and look at your plants and maybe water them and talk to a few people.The second piece of the Seeds of Significance is the

soil part. One thing that we talked about regarding the soil piece is to make sure that they are pesticide and chemical free, said Erica. There are organic pesticides that you can use but we want to really encourage that people arent ingesting lots of chemicals in their bodies. So no spraying around as

well as on the gardens. Also that the food is organically grown.Theres a gap in between there

and nobody knows what happens in that gap, said Ryan Idso-Weisz, co-founder of Heart & Soil Community Gardens. The apple that I am eating that I just bought at the grocery store, where did it come from? Its not from a mile down the road from a good friend of mine. Its from another state and we dont know where its come from to keep it fresh. Thats one thing that we like to think about when we are eating our food. When we are down here we know exactly where that food is coming from and we know exactly the type of stuff that went into that food and how much work and pride was put into that food. You can taste that when everything is said and done.The garden, now in its second

year of operation, has brought an assortment of people from the Mankato area to it that have decided to garden for one reason or another. Its a variety of folks, we have some gardeners from Smiles Center for Independent Living, we have a daycare, girl scouts, a family, some refugee and immigrant families as well, said Erica. So thats what we really want to encourage, not only the connection with the plants but with each other as well.

Competition in the Minnesota State High School League has a new face in the form of Mankatos Varsity Girls Lacrosse team. Comprised of girls from the East, West and Loyola schools and coached by Sean Sletten, this is the first year that Mankato has had a varsity level girls lacrosse team.In previous years anyone that wanted to play lacrosse

was put on the club team and they would have to travel to places like Duluth and Bemidji just to find someone they could play. The average varsity Minnesota State High School League Team isnt going to schedule games against a club team because they already have a full schedule and there is not much that they are going to get out of it, said Coach Sean Sletten, the Mankato Girls Varsity Lacrosse coach.If you are not entirely familiar with the sport of lacrosse,

you may not be the only one. The sport has mostly been popular on the East Coast where it originated from the roots of a cultural tradition of the Iroquois people. It has remained mostly an East Coast sport up until recent years where it has begun rapidly expanding into the Midwest.According to the National Federation of State High

School Associations website, in the 2002/2003 season there were only 476 girls playing lacrosse statewide. Compare that to last years numbers of 3,598 and you can see that lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports today.Lacrosse is a contact team sport played between two

teams using a small rubber ball and a long-handled stick. The head of the lacrosse stick is strung with loose mesh designed to catch and hold the ball. Using the lacrosse stick to catch, cradle, and pass the ball one team must move the ball to the other teams side of the field and shoot it into the opponents goal past the goalie.

Girls lacrosse differs slightly from mens lacrosse by eliminating most of the contact from the sport and adding additional players.The road to get here has been a struggle for Mankato

not only because initial interest in the sport was low but also because of the many hoops that they had to jump through to make it possible. The biggest stumbling block that we had to clear was to get a stable youth program for both

boys and girls just so that the district could see that number one we

had sufficient interest for it to be sustainable, said Coach Sean Sletten. Number

two was that we had to have a good feeder program where we could continue getting athletes to the High School level.Interest for the sport in the past years has mostly come

from word of mouth and has been made attractive to people looking for a new team building sport that can build off of other sports. I think that the word of mouth is getting out there from girls that play, said Hannah Mothershead, the Girls Junior Varsity Lacrosse coach.

We have a lot of people coming from soccer in the fall and them not having another spring sport helps. I hope it continues to grow that way.I heard about it through a friend and I just kind of

joined to try it out and I just stuck with it, said Taylor Pearson, a junior on the varsity team. Its a good way to connect with people on and off the season and you tend to bond as a family.Having a varsity team is just a part of it though, in order

to keep the program going for years to come the school has to have a good youth feeder program to get kids interested in the sport and work with them so they can move up to the high school level and continue working on their skills. This is where the Mankato Area Lacrosse Association comes into play. The Association allows kids ages 6 15 to join and currently there are 190 kids in the youth program.Our goal this year was to grow the girls program so we

started more individual girls program and the 7th and 8th grade girls are all new players and they are doing really well, said Shay Gruber, the President of the Mankato Area Lacrosse Association. I think its going to continue to grow. Once they play they love it and the kids are addicted. Our youth association is booming, said Coach Sletten.

Last year there were only three or four young girls that signed up, this year we are over thirty. So that is really exciting.Its rewarding for me to be able to see girls brand new

to the sport just falling in love with it and just seeing them continuing to grow, said Coach Sletten. I coach it because I love the sport but also because I love working with kids. So seeing the sport really taking off in Mankato, which I see a lot of potential in, is just incredibly exciting.

Many people struggle to teach their children the importance of saving money early, however it doesnt have to be difficult. This can be taught in a number of ways including leading by example, showing them how to use a piggy bank or even a youth savings account at a financial institution.Saving money starts by teaching your children the

difference between the things they want, and the things they need. Wants arent necessarily bad, but should not be purchased at the expense of needs or sacrificing long term savings goals. Starting your savings plan early is a great way to prepare for your childs large future purchases like expensive electronics, a vehicle or even a college fund. Teaching your children to save, and having them pay for at least a portion of a large expense, helps teach them the value of money. The following are some of the basic ways to get children

involved in saving their own money.

n Open a basic savings account for them or with them. As they age, and earn more money, you may want to introduce them to other investment vehicles, such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and even mutual funds.

n Encourage your child to pay for a portion of their wants.

n Create a matching program with your children, much like a 401(k) program. For example, every time they put $20 into a savings account, you will match that with $10 or $20, and so forth. This will encourage them to save and to understand how certain investment accounts work as they consider options later in life.

n Set up an education fund with them or for them.

Once your children have a general understanding of how to save money, and why it is important to do so, it is then time to talk with them about how to earn money through accumulating interest. Discuss how interest works and why it is important to start saving when they are young.As your children age, a great way to help them

understand the value of saving money while they are young is to explain the concept of compounding interest. In simple terms, compounding interest is when interest is calculated not only on the initial principal amount in the account, but also on the accumulated interest of prior periods. Lets take a look at an example of how this might work when $1,000 is compounded over time:

Once you have discussed these topics with your children, check with them and stay involved in the process. Most children look to their parents as the primary source of income, so the more you help them in their learning process, the better. Dont give in and

just give them what they want; help them continue to understand how to earn their goals and provide ways for them to do so. Review their financial statements with them each month, and help them to understand how to read them, showing them how much money they have earned on a monthly basis.Most important, however, you must practice what you

preach. Children typically learn from observation and imitation more than any other method. Aside from leading by example you can begin talking to them about fiscal responsibility as a way to strengthen their skills and understanding at any time. Continue to save and allow them to see how you are working through your finances. Let them look at your monthly budget and how you utilize funds and save money each month. Remember, their best and most important teacher is you.

sorensens top 10 reminders for a

healthy and safe summer1. Because summer! As temperatures climb, never

leave kids in the car, even for a short period of time. And, when participating in outdoor activities, apply sunscreen frequently, drink plenty of fluids and have your kids wear loose-fitting, lightweight clothing.

2. Traveling? Double-check your insurance plans to make sure youre covered at your destination, and make sure you have enough medications for any trips in case the need arises.

3. Use sunblock properly. Sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 30 or higher must be applied liberally, repeatedly and to all sun-exposed parts of the skin to provide effective protection. Sunscreen should be applied 15 to 30 minutes before sun exposure to allow the formation of a protective film on the skin and then reapplied every two hours. Parents should avoid exposing children less than six months of age to direct sunlight.

4. Use insect repellent properly, too. Bug spray with DEET should be used carefully. It can be used safely by pregnant women and applied once daily to children older than two months of age. Spray it on the clothes of children not directly on skin, and always have kids take a bath or shower after using. Large local reactions to mosquito bites will occur within the first few years of life. They may swell, but giving an over-the-counter allergy medication at onset can prevent a significant reaction.

5. Time for a tick check. Whenever youre with kids in a highly-wooded area, always look for ticks after coming inside. If you do find a tick, be sure to remove the entire tick. If youre unable to remove the tick, your child should be seen by a health care professional. Symptoms of tick-related illnesses may include fatigue, fever/chills, headache, rash and/or swollen lymph nodes.

6. Avoid fireworks. If you choose to give kids fireworks, remember to supervise them closely fireworks can cause serious burns and are a leading cause of blindness. If possible, avoid fireworks at home all together and leave the lighting to professionals at community displays.

Keeping your kids safe this summerThe longer days of summer mean pools, lakes, playgrounds, parks, camps, trips, heat and bugs all of which mean parents need to step up their safety game.There is something about summer that makes kids

more adventurous, says Channing Sorensen, pediatric nurse practitioner at Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato. Kids seem to play harder, run faster and stay up later, which means keeping kids safe takes extra attention.Sorensen says that while most safety tips are common

sense, they are worth repeating. Even if hearing a tip just one more time prompts a change in your family, it could help protect your child. I share the same goal as parents keeping kids healthy, happy and safe.

7. Helmets! It should go without saying, but whenever kids are participating in a wheeled sport, make sure they are wearing a properly-fitted helmet. Store helmets with the bikes as a reminder to wear them, always ride with traffic, teach your kids to use appropriate hand signals and always supervise. All grown-ups: set a good example by wearing a helmet as well.

8. Swimming. Unfortunately, drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children. Some common sense reminders: kids should wear a life jacket at all times, adults should always be present when kids are swimming, kids should swim with a buddy and swim only in areas that have a lifeguard.

9. Plan now for back-to-school activities. Make appointments now for sports physicals and well-child visits. These appointments book fast, and many activities will begin soon. And remember, if youre looking for a provider for your child, be open to new staff, including physician assistants and nurse practitioners they are often eager to meet new families and learn about your childs unique needs.

10. Know where to go. Although some situations are clearly an emergency, take some time to get to know the options for care in your community just in case. For example, the new Mayo Clinic Express Care in the Hilltop Hy-Vee is a great resource for common illnesses.

Have a great summer!

Parenting sucks at times. It is the single hardest thing Ive ever had to do in my life; giving up my natural and innate tendencies to live selfishly, for myself, and to put another beings needs ahead of my own. I dont eat until you eat. I dont pee until you pee. I dont sleep until you sleep. When youve been taken care of, I take care of myself. And I dont know if you are completely grasping the significance of this: but I dont wait for ANYONE to eat before I eat. I once made my husband drive-through Wendys on the way to the restaurant we were having dinner at. I needed food on our way to go get food. Thats the extent of my selfishness you guys.We are all here at this time as a result of thousands and

thousands of years of natural selection. Youd think wed be perfect beings by now, angels walking on earth, and that wed have this whole parenting thing down to a science! But we are human, and as such, we are prone to human error. As an example, I remember when my son Henry was an infant, and I layed him on the couch so I could run to the bathroom. A minute later I heard shrieks and cries, and returned to find him face down on the carpeting below the couch, not yet having the mobility to roll himself over. I had left my child unsupervised and he had fallen off the couch, and I was lucky he had not hurt himself more severely. Oh how the other mothers would scoff at my naivete. I was so embarrassed and insecure about it, I didnt tell anyone about it- not even my husband!- for a couple weeks, after the sting of being so recent had passed. Id like to say that it was the first time I felt that I didnt know what I was doing, but it wasnt the first time. I was doubting my competence on a regular basis, and only brought myself reassurance by repeating Every single human being that exists, had a mother. If everyone else can do it, I can too. It was the only consolation I had.Now, 5 years later, I am feeling a little more confident.

Our family has recently grown in an unexpected way. In addition to our 5 year old son, my husband and I have taken in a 16 year old. We love him, and we are so happy to have him in our lives. I am enjoying the new opportunities and challenges we are presented with.Now, 5 years later, I am an art teacher. Being an art

teacher is very much what I want to do with my time. I

find it rewarding and fulfilling. I am a working mom. Im very dedicated to my job. And I dont have any guilt about it. Working doesnt mean I love my boys any less.My kids will grow up knowing, understanding, and

valuing a healthy work ethic. Im happy to model work ethic and commitment to them, in addition to the fulfillment I receive from my job.How do I do this parenting thing, despite my doubts,

despite my mistakes, despite my dedication to my job?I dont do it alone. I have help. So much help. My kids will develop very close relationships with their

dad, with their grandma and grandpa, their nani and papa, and their caregivers, as I depend on them heavily. And I think its great! The more love my kids can receive, understand, and return, the better. They have a strong network of love and support surrounding them.And I cant downplay the role my husband plays in their

lives-I love that my kids see my husband and I sharing

cooking, cleaning and household responsibilities. They see both my husband and I committed to our careers and fulfilled by them. They will grow up not feeling bound by traditional gender roles, because theyve not been modeled to them.Now, 5 years later, I am so grateful to see these beings,

made up of the same stuff I am, walking around making decisions for themselves. When I see my kids exercising kindness and respect, when I see my kids demonstrating thoughtfulness and consideration, when I see my kids showing self control, I know that Im doing ok, even though Henry rolled off the couch that one time, not to mention the myriad of other mistakes Ive made as a parent. Im doing ok.So in the end, it goes back to pursuing my own goals,

finding my selfish motives again, the same ones I had before becoming a parent. It comes down to relying on the support of others- I depend heavily on family, on daycare, on school. It comes down to recognizing successes- I revel in watching them become human themselves, and being prone to their own errors, owning them, growing from them. Their accomplishments feel like my own.Thats how I do it.

How Do you Do it ?

We know that as adults, we may have sleep problems that arise during our lifetime, but did you know that its just as common for kids to have trouble falling, and staying asleep, too?For children, healthy sleep requires uninterrupted (and good quality) sleep, a sleep schedule thats in tune with a kids natural biological rhythm, the right amount of age-appropriate naps and a sufficient amount of sleep.As it is for you as a parent, its just as important for children to get a healthy nights sleep. Bedtime can be a battle, but it

doesnt have to be. Following these tips may help your child get the sleep their body needs. In return, youll sleep better, too!Children ages 3-6 should typically go to bed between 7-9 p.m., and wake up around 6-8 a.m., just as they did when they

were younger. As children get older, naps gradually become shorter. Children ages 7-12 should sleep 10-11 hours per day, as social, school and family activities inhabit their lives more and more. By the time your child is 12, try and have them go to bed by 9 p.m. The average sleep for your child at this age should be around 9 hours.

How to help your child get healthy sleep

If your child has bedtime fears, do your best to help reassure them that they will be safe in their bed. Buying a can of Monster

Spray (air freshener with a creative label)

or making up a rhyme to help calm their nerves, will

help your child sleep more at ease.

Turn off the electronics and television at least two hours before bedtime. Artificial

light from a TV or iPad can interfere with our bodys production of melatonin, a

hormone that is an important piece of sleep-

wake cycles. Turning off the artificial lights before

bedtime will help melatonin levels stay at their highest, when people are most

sleepy and ready for bed.

Each night, have the same bedtime routine in place for your child. Doing specific activities before bed like taking a bath, brushing their teeth and reading sets the perfect atmosphere, and will

have your childs body automatically start to become sleepy at the

beginning of the routine.

It may seem nice to allow your child to wake up later

on the weekends and holidays, but try to stick to the same bedtime routine they have throughout the rest of the week. This will cause their bodies to

become accustomed to a sleep schedule. If they wake up later than normal a few times a week, they can

become groggy and jet-leg like, making it hard for their bodies to feel tired at its

normal bedtime.

Invitation to a Special Birthday PartyWhen one girl turned six in August of 1891, a very special Birthday Party was planned. Would you be invited? Who else would come? If you were invited what would you wear? What kind of fun would you have at this birthday party? In the mid-1800s Birthday parties were not common. Many children celebrated quietly at home with their families and many did not celebrate their birthdays at all! In 1891 Kate Hubbard was an exception. Her parents held a party for her sixth birthday and invited 75 children to the Hubbard home! The Mankato Free Press wrote they were going to have a wild time. The Hubbards hired servants would have been very hot cooking on a wood stove in August -they may have made 75 cakes! Just imagine what that party on the lawn must have been like with so many children! Pretend you were there and keep reading!

The 1890s

These two! Here is an artist pastel drawing of Katherine Dean and Mary Esther Hubbard c.1890.

Who was the party for?

Girls and boys wore short dresses and pants

until they were older. Most clothes were

made by hand.

What to wear?

You may have received an invitation that looked like this. Many technological advances occurred in the printing industry in the later part of the century. Mass produced stationary was popular.

You were invited!

The wealthy would have bought stationery from Stewart and Holmes or C.W. Warwick shops. Did you shop here?

South Front Street

This Bisque (a kind of clay,) doll was made in Germany. In the 1890s, expensive dolls were often purchased to decorate adult drawing rooms, rather than as playthings for children.

Dont Touch!

Many generations of family may have lived together in a large home, each helping with all of the work which had to be done. Kitchens had wood stoves, and water was hand pumped. Most people had no indoor plumbing.

Is this where you live?

Your father may have worked for Mr. Hubbard at the R. D. Hubbard Milling Company. The mill is still working on North Front Street! Your father would have

Dont Touch!

The Game Chutes and Ladders evolved from Snakes and Ladders, a popular childrens game with its origins in India and its roots in morality lessons.

Do you think you played this game?

Many generations of family may have lived together in a large home, each helping with all of the work which had to be done. Kitchens had wood stoves, and water was hand pumped. Most people had no indoor plumbing.

Is this where you live?

Your father may have worked for Mr. Hubbard at the R. D. Hubbard Milling Company. The mill is still working on North Front Street! Your father would have

worked six days a week. Your mother may have worked at home as a seamstress or wash woman, so your mother would have taken you!
