A shared dream for
children and families
Four years ago, I invited faculty and staff of our college to a series
of brainstorming sessions to gather ideas for a center for healthy
children. What research would they bring to the effort? What interdisciplinary
opportunities existed? What current programs would fit
naturally into a center to study the health and well being of young
people? We talked about children’s nutrition, physical activity, social
adjustment, school readiness, and the special needs of children with
disabilities. We discussed physical environments that help children thrive and the challenges of childhood
obesity, hunger, and substance abuse. What resulted was a vision for a collaborative center, drawing on the
research and expertise of our faculty and programs in these fields.
I took every opportunity to share our dream with colleagues, alumni, and friends of the college. I received
encouragement, new ideas, and pledges of support. And in April of this year, just before she died at age 102,
noted Oregon philanthropist Hallie Ford shared her confidence in us and our vision with a gift of $8 million.
The Hallie Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families will carry on Hallie’s legacy of improving the
health and well being of children and families across Oregon. A 2009 groundbreaking is planned for the
center to be located next to our Bates Family Study Center, and the search for an endowed director will begin
soon. A steering committee of faculty is drafting a mission for the center that includes supporting pioneering
research and translating findings into practical programs that build the capacity of families and communities
to support healthy children and families. Hallie’s gift requires that we raise an additional $2 million. I am
confident we will.
In this issue of Synergies, you will read about our wealth of research and initiatives for children
and families. I think you’ll agree that Hallie Ford made a wise investment.

Simple life, Solid values...
“This is my life,” penned Hallie Ford
in disciplined penciled script as she began to chronicle her
life in a 3x5 Jumbo Ruled Pad. “I was born in Sapulpa,
Oklahoma, on March 17, 1905, to Ethel Viva Brown and
James Thomas Brown.” Next to her first entry she wrote,
“The motto of Oklahoma is ‘Labor conquers all things.’”
Hallie Ford lived by that motto for the next 102 years.
She attended a one-room school and learned lessons of
work and love and family from her parents. “I recall going
with mother to bring in the calves. We discovered a wild
strawberry patch and mother sat down and made a basket
with sticks and leaves which we filled with berries and
carried home.” Her journal entries include fond memories
of going to town in a horse-drawn wagon huddled under
a blanket and “rowing the boat out to the sand bar for
our Saturday night bath in the river.” She wrote about her
early teens when “we kids picked 25 acres of cotton. We
were taught to work. We had a happy home…there was
love and respect. We were taught the golden rule, honesty,
and morality.”
Those values defined Hallie as she grew up. When she was
14, she wrote, “Kids made fun of us country kids and the
way we dressed. I felt very discriminated against, but it
made me determined to beat them in grades, which I did
and graduated as valedictorian of my class.” Determined
to go to college and become a teacher, Hallie borrowed
money from her father, “which I paid back in full.” She
“We were taught to work. We had
a happy home…there was love and
respect. We were taught the golden
rule, honesty, and morality.”
Hallie’s happiest moments were
when she was surrounded by
three generations of her family,
here with son, Allyn, on her right
and daughter, Carmen, left.
received her BS in 1930 from East Central State Teachers
College in Oklahoma and went on to teach in classrooms
and communities, carrying her message of learning and
giving back. “She used to say that a lot of things can be
taken away in life, but no one can take your education
away,” recalls daughter Carmen Ford Phillips, BS ’59 home
economics, MS ’63 foods and nutrition. “She would tell us,
‘Your education sustains you when things get tough.’”
Hallie and Kenneth Ford married in 1935 and settled
in Roseburg, where they started a lumber company. She
writes about struggling through the war years. “One summer
three of us canned 8,000 jars of fruit and vegetables
and 2,000 quarts of jam for the local cookhouses. We
made soap with lye and grease. I remember making 16
pies before 10:00 in the morning to feed all the hungry
men working at the mill!” Then one day she painted
Roseburg Lumber Company on the side of their truck,
marking the official beginning of the company.
“Hallie was down to earth,
disciplined, and driven,”
says her son, Allyn. “She fed us a big dose of 4-H with
our rural upbringing, taught us basic family values, and
focused on education. Her parenting was a wonderful
gift.” Carmen remembers her mother as the quintessential
homemaker of the ’40s and ’50s. “She always wore a crisp
housedress, made beautiful meals, and kept a spotless
house with flowers on the table,” she says.

Lasting legacy
When asked about Hallie’s proudest moment, Carmen
and Allyn agree that it was in 1995 when, as co-founder of
the Ford Family Foundation, she established Opportunity
Scholars, a program that enables single parents with dependent
children to finish their bachelor’s degrees. Each year,
up to 50 students in Oregon receive the award that covers
90 percent of their college costs. “The annual luncheon for
scholars was always a highlight of her year,” recalls Carmen.
“Women who had no hope, no education, and were working
two jobs told stories of how they regained their lives and
their independence with support from the scholarship.
Mother, in her inimitable style, would always remind
them to give back to their communities.”
The Hallie Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families
Hallie Ford’s $8 million gift and the additional $2 million
investment she required the college to raise will provide
for a building and an endowed director for the center.
Groundbreaking is anticipated for fall 2009.
The center’s mission embraces Hallie’s values of integrity,
independence, family, and community by promoting
healthy children and families through:
• Supporting high-quality research
• Translating research into practice
• Building the capacity of families, service providers,
and communities
“Mother was pleased to learn that the concept for this
center was based on a solid reputation of successful
programs for children and families in the College of
Health and Human Sciences,” says Carmen Ford Phillips,
BS ’59, MS ’63. “She believed that when we help one
person or one family, we are helping generations to come.”
The center will take a holistic approach to the health of
children and families, including their physical, intellectual,
emotional, and social development.
Hallie Ford practiced quiet philanthropy. Although her
gifts to her alma mater and other universities and art
museums often carried her name, she wanted nothing
more than to enrich communities, campuses, and lives
with the value of continued education. “She was impressed
with the college’s outreach efforts that translate into
practical things for children in communities,” says Bart
Howard, personal advisor to Hallie, of her gift to OSU.
“She believed that if we take care of ourselves, we can be
of service to others.” As she signed papers to bestow gifts,
she would turn to Bart and say, “Aren’t I lucky to be able
to do this?”
“Mother...believed
that when we help
one person or one
family, we are
helping generations
to come,” says Hallie
Ford’s daughter,
Carmen Ford Phillips,
here with dean
Tammy Bray.

Kids
in the
Reflecting the college’s holistic approach to health and
well-being, KidSpirit programs teach children the
value of physical activity, nutrition, cultural diversity,
art, nature, and relationships. When the college
students leave Corvallis in June, the campus comes alive
with the happy squeals and camping chants of a younger
generation. KidSpirit is in full swing for the summer,
with more than 825 kids ranging in age from 5 to 17 who
come for individual two-week sessions or stay for the
whole summer.
The kids come to swim, rock climb, play tennis, cook,
and learn in the classroom – about health, art, prehistoric
times, nature, and computers. Walk across campus and
you’ll see small groups with their group leaders, high
school and college students who will tell you they are
having just as much fun as the kids. Friday dress-up days
feature Crazy Hair Day, Pirate Day, and Super Hero Day.
While most of the kids are from the Corvallis area,
a growing handful come from as far away as Alaska,
California, Washington, and Japan, visiting relatives and
returning to see their “annual friends” at KidSpirit each
summer. Twelve-year-old Chance has been coming for
eight years, along with his three brothers and two sisters.
“Wynton and I have been friends since JB,” he says
nonchalantly, motioning to the friend he’s had since they
were Junior Beavers (grades K-2). “When we go home, we
email, then come back and see each other.”
Everywhere we go, people want to know,
who we are, so we tell them:
We are KidSpirit, Mighty, Mighty KidSpirit,
and if they can’t hear us, we’ll shout a little louder!
Kitchen . . . and on the field . . .
“Our goal is to provide an environment that is safe
physically and emotionally, that fosters skill-building and
self-esteem, and one where each child tries new things, has
fun, and makes new friends,” explains Karen Swanger, BS
’98, MS ’00, director of the popular program since 1998.
“When I was hired, they said ‘This is the hardest job you’re going
to love,’” says “Panda” Miranda Dellinger (far left), who works with
KidsSpirt year-round. “You have to be ‘on’ all the time, working long
hours, choosing your attitude, balancing lots of jobs. And yes, I do
love it!” A graduate in human development and family sciences, she’s
earning her double degree in education.

She’s quick to tell you that it’s the 150 OSU students
who do all the work. “KidSpirit is a student-run business
filling a community need,” she says. “Our
OSU students do the marketing, recruiting, hiring,
training, lesson plans, and lead the classes.
We hire high school and college students, knowing that
many of them will be with us for years,” she explains. “It’s
an amazing opportunity for them to develop skills, try
new things, make mistakes, work in a team, and gain a
strong work ethic. They learn life skills that increase their
confidence, self-esteem, and enable them to enter the
workplace as leaders.”
Food fun at Culinary Camp
“Food is symbolic – of care, and love, and family, and friends,”
says Michael Beets, PhD ’07 public health. “So much of
what we do is around food…in the buying, preparing, eating,
and even the cleaning up process. As we cook, we talk,
engage, work together…it’s so much more than a physiological
response to hunger.” And that’s what Michael set out to teach
in Culinary Camp, a new KidSpirit program he developed to
teach about healthy eating.
The three two-week sessions with about 15 kids each met from
10 to 3 Tuesday through Friday to plan, purchase and prepare
themed meals each day – Asian, Mexican, American, and
Middle Eastern, the latter a veritable feast including tabouli,
humus, pita bread, cardamom carrot salad, falafel, and herbed
What started as a small summer camp in 1961 has
evolved into a year-round program offering a huge
variety of classes that parents appreciate and kids
look forward to. During the school year, KidSpirit
enrolls about 350 kids per term in gymnastics, tennis,
rock climbing, archery, Kids Night Out, a mini-camp
on no-school days and football game days, as well as first
aid and babysitter certification classes.

chicken, feta cheese, and yogurt. Students set a table complete
with tablecloth and flowers to savor their culinary skills.
On Wednesdays they rode their bikes to the local farmer’s
market for the theme, “How to Build a Better Salad.” Other
days they rode to the park for a healthy BBQ lunch or to the
grocery store for a scavenger hunt to locate, price, and find
nutrition information and substitutes for foods they would buy.
“The main outcome we wanted was to have kids cook more at
home – to be comfortable in the kitchen, choose healthy food,
know basic cooking techniques, work safely, and, most of all,
enjoy the shared experience of preparing and enjoying a meal,”
explains Michael, who says he ended his days in a state of
“wonderful exhaustion.”

Transitions
The process of becoming an
adult has changed profoundly.
But Rick Settersten says that every period of life is
changing. “Children are in a hurry to grow up, teenagers
want the independence of 20-somethings, 20somethings
want to be supported like teenagers, ‘60 is
the new 40’, and birthday cakes glowing with 100 candles
are more common.” Rick, a new OSU professor and
internationally recognized expert on life transitions, is
particularly fascinated by the passage to adulthood.
“Entry into adulthood has become more prolonged and
complex,” he says. “Actually, the whole life course is in
flux. Everywhere we look, we see new models of what it
means to be a child or adolescent, to be middle aged or
‘old.’ What makes the twenties special is that, in these
years, young people make decisions that set the stage
for the future. Autonomy, maturity, and responsibility
– all of these personal traits are traditional symbols of
adulthood, as are milestones like leaving home, finishing
school, finding a job, getting married, and having a
family.” Not long ago, young people achieved many, if
not all, of these in their mid-twenties, and most often
in that order. Now, it’s more like the mid-thirties, and
I began to fully feel like an
adult when, just two years
ago, my grandma let me
sit at the adult table for
Christmas dinner…it was
like a big deal.
— 27-year-old
the routes they take are more scrambled, circuitous, and
meandering. Add to this a significant change in demographics,
and we have a societal shift that screams for
understanding.
Because the road to adulthood
is no longer clearly signposted,
young people require greater support from their families.
“For young people from privileged backgrounds,
parents’ resources permit the luxury of exploration – to
try out school, jobs, and relationships; to sort out priorities
and interests,” says Rick. “Those without resources
experience these years differently, often adrift, wandering
without purpose or waiting for a break. The different
profiles of these two groups result in vastly different
outcomes later in life.”
No single experience renders one an adult, nor is there
a magical age at which adulthood is suddenly reached.
Instead, this transition is composed of a larger cluster
of experiences that eventually crystallize into a new
sense of identity as an adult. “The path to adulthood is
punctuated with ‘adult moments’ – when young people
find themselves making ‘adult decisions’ that prompt
awareness that they are no longer children, but not yet
fully adult,” says Rick.
The nebulous transition to adulthood gives rise to
new modes of self-expression. For example, in many
ways, the political identities and commitments of
young people seem much like the music on their iPods
– unique to them, tailored to their preferences, and
expressed in ways that feel up close and personal. They
want to be involved in projects and volunteer efforts
that have immediate, visible results. They are tuned in
to new forms of social networks and political action,
connecting on MySpace, mobilizing on the web, buying
carbon credits.
The strict scripts for life that were typical a few decades
ago felt rigid to many people. Rick says, however, that
those scripts did “lend some comfort and a sense of predictability
about what lay ahead. Today, young people
must craft a life of their own, which feels both exhilarating
and confusing, but doing so means that the routes
and outcomes are very uncertain.”

I think we should treat everyone over 18 as
if they were an adult. We shouldn’t wait for
them to feel adult. I think it may actually be a
peculiarity of childhood to imagine that there
will be a point when you feel completely adult,
because it seems to me that people our age are
always running around saying “Oh, I don’t feel
grown up”…and that may actually be what it
feels like to be grown up. You don’t feel it.
— 30-year-old woman
It’s hard living up to the expectations of being an adult. You
should have a good job. You should have your own place.
Should have a family…. It’s ‘What’s wrong with you?’ What’s
wrong with you if you don’t have a good job, what’s wrong
with you if you don’t have a family? — 31-year-old male

phases of life transitions.

Play outdoors
when weather permits
Back in the 1940s, that was
the mantra for teachers. It’s
what Joanne Godard Sorte, BA
’74, MS ’90, director of OSU’s
Child Development Center,
found when, perplexed by rising
obesity rates, she referred to the
journal her mother kept during
classes at the Oregon State
College Nursery School. Jean
Guyer Godard ’42 kept notes
in perfect cursive, detailing her
lessons on childhood nutrition,
activity, and development. “The
morning snack was a glass of
tomato juice and ½ teaspoon
of cod liver oil,” she chuckles,
“and if it wasn’t raining, we were
outside.”
Joanne found what she expected
in Jean’s journal – simple wisdom
that we would do well to
heed today. With the rising rates
of children’s obesity, sedentary
lifestyles, and fast-food eating,
Joanne and Inge Daeschel, the
center’s registered dietitian and
certified specialist in pediatric
nutrition, felt called to action.
“Where else but in a lab preschool
like ours should such an
issue be addressed?” Joanne
recalls thinking in 2003 when
she and Inge began planning a
response to the problem.
“We turned the microscope on
ourselves and examined the
nutrition and physical activity
of the 120 children who attend
preschool at our center,” explains
Inge. “We interviewed our teachers
about their nutrition lessons
and reviewed daily classroom
schedules. We did nutrition
assessments, observed physical
activity, and collected height
and weight data. And we learned
that more than 17 percent of
our children score in the overweight
category, and 15 percent
more were at risk of being
overweight.” They compared the
1940 schedule in Jean’s notes to
a 2005 schedule to explore the
time allotted for active play. Both
set times for outdoor play, but
Joanne Sorte & Jean Guyer Godard
Jean’s notes directed teachers in
every time block to “play outdoors
when weather permits.”
The 2005 schedule for part-time
preschool offers a single 30minute
block for play outdoors.
In 2005, with support from the
Northwest Health Foundation,
Joanne and Inge created Health
in Action: A Focus on Nutrition
and Physical Activity in Early
Childhood Programs. “Our goal is
to provide information for directors,
teachers, and parents about
the nutrition and physical activity
needs of children so changes
can be made in programs and
at home to reduce the causes
of obesity,” explains Joanne.
The program is currently being
used by Head Start programs
statewide, and the Oregon Child
Development Coalition has translated
it into Spanish.

Color my world
As she watches her two-year-old son
Michael paint a red, fire-breathing
dragon, Marilyn Read knows just how
his environment impacts his creativity. “Color,
defined space, light, and a sense of ‘home’ all
contribute to a child’s cognitive and social development,”
she explains. Marilyn has been conducting research on
the design of children’s preschools for eight years while
on the faculty at Auburn University. She recently brought
her work to OSU, where she earned her PhD in human
behavior in the near environment in 1996.
“Designed environments that give children a feeling of
belonging, security, and stability and that mimic aspects of
home – places to eat, nap, and play – encourage learning
and socialization,” says Marilyn, who hopes to give preschool
teachers the tools to understand what makes an
effective space. “Small, low-cost changes can make big
differences.”
Color is a flexible, accessible, and powerful design element,
and Marilyn suggests we take our cues from the
color balance in nature. “Green and purple are stabilizing,
red causes excitement, and yellow and blue
promote a sense of restfulness,” she explains.
“All of these can be used appropriately in the
designed space.”
Defining areas for different activities creates
a sense of purpose, and Marilyn found a
number of creative solutions in her visits to
more than 100 preschools. “Ceiling drapes
Fabric ceiling drapes
are an inexpensive
way to create a space,
diffuse light, and
lower noise levels.
can create space and diffuse sound and fluorescent light.
Splashes of color or wall murals define activity areas, and
carpet and floor paint can define ‘rooms’ within a larger
space.” One preschool added a small raised platform to a
corner and, voilà, a performance stage was born!
An inviting exterior entry can set the stage for learning.
“Attention to outside landscaping, a welcoming entrance,
and good signage for wayfinding can make a big difference
for parents and children,” says Marilyn.
“There’s a large body of research on older children’s
perceptions of learning environments, but toddlers and
preschoolers are often not included in research because
most researchers believe they cannot articulate their experience
of space. I don’t agree with this assumption,” she
explains. “I encourage teachers to consider using the Early
Childhood Environmental Rating Scale, an instrument to
evaluate their preschools. It’s a very useful tool.”

Childhood Environmental Rating Scale

Lives depend on them…
Leonard Friedman gets frequent emails
from his graduates.
Dr. Friedman,
I want to say how much you have inspired me and how thankful I
am that you gave me the tools to succeed. You are an amazing professor
and I actually miss going to class! — Dana Wolf ’04
Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY
They thank him for what they learned, the doors he
opened, the support he gave.
Dear Dr. Friedman,
I wanted to let you know the exciting news – I got an acceptance
letter from Michigan! Thank you so much for your help and
guidance through this process. — Mari Embertson ’06
MPH Student, University of Michigan
And they share their professional accomplishments.
Good morning, Dr. Friedman,
I just got promoted into a supervisory position! Now I can put
into practice all the wonderful management skills I learned
from you and the other great professors at OSU. When I got the
job, they offered me a copy of First, Break All the Rules. The
manager was pleased to know I had already read it (thanks to
you). — Larisa Thurman ’07
Clear Choice Health Plans, Bend, OR
“I love hearing from them,” says public health professor
Leonard Friedman, smiling broadly. “My job is to create
the conditions that allow students to find where their
talents lie and help them achieve their maximum level of
success…in the classroom, then out in the business world.
When they write, it affirms that what we are doing here at
OSU is meeting the needs of the health care field.”
A recipient of numerous awards for his teaching and mentoring,
Len says, “I am convinced that this discipline is the
most important thing I could be doing. Our students have
a huge responsibility. Their jobs will demand that they create
systems in which physicians and other clinicians can
do their best work. People’s lives literally depend on it. I’m
incredibly proud to be part of the team preparing the next
generation of leaders in our field.”
Len teaches six classes in the health management and
policy program (HMP) and says, “I want my students to
understand that beyond what they learn in the classroom,
to be successful, they need to be exceptionally skilled at
building and maintaining relationships.” He teaches his
students to network through professional organizations,
connects them with internship and practicum opportunities,
and emphasizes the importance of learning to market
themselves. Each year, he successfully solicits funds
from health care executives to take groups of students to
national and local conferences.”
And he walks the talk. In May, Governor Ted Kulongoski
appointed Len to the Oregon Patient Safety Commission
charged with improving patient safety by reducing risks
of serious adverse events and encouraging a culture of
patient safety. He’s the faculty advisor to one of two HMP
student clubs and is a member of the American College of
Healthcare Executives and the Medical Group Management
Association.
Len says he is bullish on HMP. “Regardless of the
payment system, we need people to manage the business
side our hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities.
This is a career that is flourishing in every community
across the nation.”

accepting new positions as he grew. In 200 , the
offer came to administer Beaverton Rehab. “It was
an older building in a busy market and it needed
stable leadership. I didn’t want to go into the position
unless I could be certain that I was ready. So, I
accepted, thinking to myself, ‘If I’m successful here,
then I’ll know I’m in the right field.’ There was so
much talent in that building that we were able to
improve client satisfaction and stabilize the financials
within the first couple of months. During this year’s
state and federal audits, we came out with the best
grade in years,” Ben says proudly. “Professor Friedman
told us once, ‘No one is irreplaceable; you need
to continue to perform and grow.’” Ben follows up

Arlita Rhoan
Arlita says she is proud to
be a model and a mentor
for kids of any age. “We’ve
seen with other tribes that
the more education they
have, the more they are
respected – in their tribal
communities, outside
the reservation, and in
Washington, DC, where
they’re making policies
that affect us.” She adds, “I
realized if I’m going to tell
kids that higher education
is important, I needed to
experience it for myself.”
Begin with
the children
f this old lady can do it, you can, too.” That’s Arlita Rhoan’s message to her
“Ifive children and eleven grandchildren as she follows her goal of earning
her bachelor’s degree under a new program that’s creating higher education
opportunities for Native Americans in Oregon. The cheerful 69-year-old, who
says she’s positive from the minute she wakes up each morning, is passionate
about raising good citizens, carrying on the culture and language of her tribe,
and helping young people find a future through education. “It’s the key to their
success,” she believes. “Back in the ’40s, we lived according to our culture, but
we’ve lost our language, and our kids, like all kids, are dealing with drugs, alcohol,
and other issues…and many don’t have goals.”
Arlita and 55 others on the Warm Springs Reservation who work with young
children hope to change that by working toward associate’s and bachelor’s
degrees through the Higher Education Partnership, a program providing support
for students and researchers to discover the best methods for helping rural
reservation dwellers access higher education. Arlita is balancing classes in early
childhood education and algebra with her job in the Culture and Heritage
program, where she teaches young children Ichishkin, one of the three Warm
Springs native languages. She says her fellow students in the partnership are
learning to be leaders, giving guidance to their young people, opening doors of
opportunity. “If we want to change, we must start with the children,” she says.
Her fellow students work in the Early Childhood Education Center, Culture
and Heritage program, and the Tribal Human Services office.
“The Warm Springs Tribal Council approached us about improving access
to education,” explains Sharon Rosenkoetter, associate professor in human
development family sciences who shares leadership of the
program with Clint Jacks and Ramona Tanawasha. “We
were able to create a partnership with the Confederated
Tribes, OSU, Central Oregon Community College, and
the Cascades Center for Community Governance. Significant
support comes from the U.S. Office of Head Start
through the National American Indian/Alaska Native
Head Start Research Center in Denver. Classes are offered
on the Warm Springs Reservation and online with support
for tuition, books, child care, and tutoring built in. “All are
non-traditional students,” explains Sharon, “ranging in age
from 20 to 69. Most are parents and grandparents, working
full-time jobs while they juggle the demands of family and
community responsibilities. Their tenacity is remarkable.”

Kathryn and Doug Collins
always taught their son Jeff
to give back to his community.
As he grew up, he volunteered
at school, at the community food
drive, for the Kiwanis, and for
fundraisers like Corvallis’ annual
Pumpkin Run. He’s worked two
jobs for the past eight years, one
as groundskeeper at Trysting Tree
Golf Course, where he shows up
at 5 a.m. six days a week, and
the other as part of the lunch
shift at the local Burger King. Jeff

entire life. His mother says that
Jeff’s participation in IMPACT
provides the expectation and support
to be part of his community.
“He started the program in 1990
when he was 11 and aged out
at 21. After a few years of working,
Jeff really missed IMPACT.

It was his idea to go back as a

Sam Gelser, and he’s been with
him ever since,” she explains.
“The program is a highlight of his
week.” Jeff is quick to tell you
his favorite activity is “swimming

special needs, and our doctoral
students have the skills to replicate
this program wherever they

Healthy choices
active lifestyles
Oregon Family Nutrition Program (OFNP)
They gather together for their weekly nutrition and
cooking lesson as part of the Parent Enhancement Program
in Corvallis. They chop, mix, and sauté. They learn
and laugh and bond and take home ideas for keeping their
families healthy. And they bring their children, who play
happily in a room nearby. “We want to help our families
stretch their food dollars while making healthy choices,”
says Tina Dodge Vera, nutrition educator of Las Comidas
Latinas for Linn and Benton counties. The bilingual
six-week class attracts young mothers who, according
to follow-up surveys, make lasting changes. “We talk
about shopping, meal planning, and family responsibilities
around food,” explains Tina. This is one of the many
successful Oregon Family Nutrition Programs in Oregon,
aimed at helping families make healthy choices within a
limited budget and choose an active lifestyle guided by the
USDA My Pyramid Guide.
In Portland, the Extension office collaborates with county
health departments, Hacienda CDC, Catholic Charities’
after school programs, and parish health promoter outreach
programs to provide classes throughout the Portland
metro area. More than 120 Hispanic lay health educators
have attended train-the-trainer workshops and teach
through nine Catholic parishes in Portland. “Our goal is
to help Hispanic families maintain some of their traditional
diet while being mindful to eat more fruits and vegetables,”
says Extension faculty Lynn Steele, who has been
with the program since 1993. “In addition to the lessons
on nutrition, meal planning, healthy snacks, and low-fat
cooking, we provide information about diabetes awareness
and heart-healthy eating tips.”
“These are true programs of federal
dollars working on your community,”
says Janice Smiley, Washington County

Some OFNP statistics
Support: In FY 200 , $ million from the USDA Food and Nutrition
Service was matched by $ million in local resources, including
staff and volunteer time, facilities, and materials. Extension and
community staff were joined by 331 volunteers who contributed
5530 hours of service.
Results in 2006: More than 25,000 adults and youth in 31 Oregon
counties participated in classes that resulted with 75% of adult
participants showing improvement in one or more nutrition practices.

Not just for 50 minutes...
for a lifetime
Dani Blackwell is changing the stereotype and the
curriculum of high school physical education, and
educators across the state are watching. Department
chair of physical education and health at West
Albany High, Dani was recently named the Oregon
High School Physical Education Teacher of the Year
for her innovative approach to engaging students of
all ability levels in physical education classes with
the goal of fitness for a lifetime. “The key to students
succeeding in PE class is offering a diversity
of activities and actively engaging every student. It’s
the Sport Education model that I learned at OSU,”
says Dani, who earned her bachelor’s degree in
exercise and sport science in 1998 and her master’s
in physical education teacher education (MS PETE)
in 1999. “I prefer my classes to be student-run,
not teacher-lead,” she explains. “For example, one
student may have interest in creating practice plans,
while another who is good with numbers can be
the team statistician. Every team needs a publicist,
and someone who is artistic can make posters. And
when we get down to playing, we already have a
team, and we respect all learning levels. It’s not just
about the traditional sports but includes activities
like orienteering, cooperative games, rock climbing,
and hiking.”
A self-proclaimed bench player, Dani says, “No one
taught me to exercise for a lifetime, so I sat around
and gained weight.” She knows the work it takes
to get and stay in shape and the satisfaction and
energy that comes with being healthy. She wants
her students to find an exercise routine they can
adopt for life. Dani is a great example for her students
and her five kids. “I do something every day,
and I mix it up – cardio, weights, walking, cycling.”
Associate professor and coordinator of the MS PETE
program, Barbara Cusimano says OSU is one of a
handful of schools nationwide that prepares physical
education teachers using Sport Education, Fitness
for Life, Teaching Games for Understanding, and
Dynamic Physical Education models. “Moderate to
Dani’s Fitness Principles
• everyone participates
• expectations are clear
• Celebrate when we’re done
• We’re in it for life
vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is a critical focus,”
she explains. “We teach short set-up time and
effective organization to maximize the time spent
in actual physical activity. The Healthy People 2010
guidelines require that 50 percent of physical education
time is MVPA. I think our teachers are probably
exceeding that.” Barbara proudly reports that in the
last three years, 100 percent of the MS PETE graduates
were hired right after graduation. One reason
may be that we are the only school in Oregon that
trains in and requires student teaching for all levels
– elementary, middle, and high school.”
The skills Dani has learned teaching challenge courses and running the peer
mediation program show as she guides her class through team-building exercises
with the precision of a drill sergeant. Mixed in with her commands, you can hear
the students strategizing, working, and laughing. “They’re engaged in physical
activity, and they’re having fun,” says Dani. “With an experience like this, they’re
much more inclined to continue physical activity throughout their lives.”

Third

generosity
e wanted to give a gift that
“Whonors education, the dedication
of teachers, and Joan’s parents,”
says Chuck McDougald, adding,
“This is really about Joan and her
parents.” Just before Joan passed
away in April 2007, she and Chuck
established a bequest that will provide
funds for three programs in the
future with resources from the sale of
the family home. The endowed funds
will include support for faculty, graduate
students, and undergraduates.
The Willetta Moore Smith and John
E. Smith Fund for Faculty Development
in the College of Health
and Human Sciences will support
junior faculty; the John E. Smith
and Willetta M. Smith Fellowship
in Geosciences will support graduate
students; and an endowment will be
created to fund the ongoing Drucilla
Shepard Smith Scholastic Award.
Chuck and Joan McDougald
John with baby Joan
“Joan wanted to acknowledge the
hard work of students and faculty at
OSU,” says Chuck.
Willetta Moore Smith majored in
home economics and graduated
from Oregon Agricultural College
in 1916. She went on to teach foods
and nutrition at OAC and was a
close colleague of Dean Ava Milam.
“Willetta was very well thought of
on campus,” says Chuck. “Joan talked
fondly about her mother’s work at
the herbarium.” Willetta and John
were married in 1932 in Ames, Iowa.
John, a geology major, graduated in
1902 and taught geology at OAC.
John was well known in Benton and
Polk counties as a local historian. To
honor his mother, John set up the
Drucilla Shepard Smith Scholastic
Award, one of OSU’s most prestigious
awards given each year to OSU
students with a 4.0 cumulative grade
point average.
Willetta with baby Joan
Joan and Chuck were sweethearts
at Corvallis High School – she sang
in the choir and was a member of
numerous activities, including Pep
Club and Tri-Y. He played football,
ran track, and was in Future Farmers
of America. They graduated in 1952
and were married that fall. “As usual
with young married
couples, some thought
it wouldn’t last,” recalls
Chuck. “We were
married for 55 happy
years.” Although neither
graduated from
OSU, the memorabilia
from Joan’s parents
is proudly displayed
throughout their
home, and a recent
photo of Chuck with
Benny Beaver at the
Fiesta Bowl has a place
of honor in the living
room.

Women empowering women
Women from all over Oregon
participated in a four-day
intensive workshop on
advocacy and leadership as
part of the year-long Pathways
to Excellence program.
Never underestimate the power
of a woman. Especially one
with $500. Earlier this year, 119
alumnae and friends of OSU
pooled their donations and contributed
$ 0,000 to eight OSU
programs that will benefit women
of all ages throughout Oregon.
They are members of the OSU
Women’s Giving Circle, and their
combined generosity is supporting
programs that empower
young girls and women to make
a difference in their lives and their
communities. “The circle is a
unique opportunity to make a bigger
difference with your check,”
says Janet Baker ’ , who with
Ruth Beyer ’77 co-founded the
Women’s Giving Circle in 2003.
“The circle is a wonderful way to
draw in alumnae of all ages from
all over the country, to reconnect,
and to support other women.”
This year, the circle funded two
programs from the College of
Health and Human Sciences.
Next spring, with a $12,945 grant,
the college’s popular KidSpirit
program (see page 4) will offer
“Girls on the Run,” an interna-
tional mentoring program to teach
middle school girls about body
image and self-esteem as they
train for a 5K race. The established
Early Childhood Leadership
Directions (ECLD) program
received $10,000, broadening its
reach to 13 Oregon counties and
“our largest cohort ever with 30
new leaders,” says Diane Turner,
ECLD program director. “They are
participating in Pathways to Excellence,
a rigorous mentoring and
personal and professional development
program that’s strengthening
their leadership skills to
improve the lives of children and
families in rural Oregon.” They all
earn college credits or continuing
education units. The age range is
broad (25 to 9), as is the range
of education and experience. All
work in health, human services,
and education professions. They
are becoming leaders, mentors,
collaborators, and advocates for
change. “We see magic happen
in people’s lives,” says Sharon
Rosenkoetter, principal investigator.
“Women are empowered
to do things they never thought
they could, and then they set
about making lasting changes
for their communities.” Changes
like a marketing and education
campaign to prevent child abuse,
an initiative to establish higher
pay for child care providers, and a
mentoring system to support new
professionals working with children
with disabilities. OSU’s first
lady Beth Ray helped evaluate
ECLD’s application. “This program
fits our mission well. Participants
come from underrepresented
groups, they complete a project
in their own community, and our
land grant mission is fulfilled.”

at Emmanuel Hospital in Portland, Leila settled on her life’s
work: responding to the needs of abused and neglected
children. She’s now the medical director of CARES Northwest
in Portland, a collaborative, community-based medical
program for the assessment, treatment, and prevention of
child abuse. “We see about 1,500 kids a year who have
suffered abuse, neglect, or exposure to critical incidents,”
says Leila. “Sadly, abuse is common and impacts one in four
girls and one in six boys. It’s a huge public health problem
with lifelong health consequences.” Leila and her husband

“Velda was a real Blue Collar Renaissance
Woman,” says dean emeritus
Mike Maksud of Velda Brust, who,
during World War II, was a machinist
for Northrop Aircraft. “She was
soft spoken and competent, a truly
dedicated professional. Whether she was teaching
anatomy or fixing some broken equipment,
you were confident it would be a job well done.”
Emeritus associate dean Kathy Heath, who shared
an office at OSU with Velda, recalls, “Her favorite
subject to teach was human anatomy, and the background
her students received at OSU served them
well in teaching, therapy, or medical careers.”

A certified occupational therapist, Velda
worked at Children’s Hospital in Eugene
and was assistant director of the occupational
therapy school at the University
of Puget Sound before returning to OSU
in 1959. During her 23-year career at
OSU, she taught physical education, pretherapy,
and human anatomy, coached
basketball and tennis, and was head of
the Women’s Recreation Association. Her
strong advocacy for the rights of women
and people with disabilities was a life-long
commitment.
For over 25 years, Velda was involved in the operation
of Camp Tamarack, a popular girl’s camp in Central
Oregon where, according to friends who worked
with her, “her cleverness, competence, and mischievous
spirit made her a favorite of the girls. Whether
tinkering with camp vehicles, fixing the plumbing,
catching porcupines in garbage cans, or teaching
square dancing, she was always a joyful inspiration.”

The College welcomes two new members to the team
Kathy Gunter, PhD
Assistant Professor, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences
Physical Activity and Community Health Specialist
Extension Family and Community Development
his new position is a tremendous opportunity to
“Tstrengthen and develop partnerships between faculty
on campus and Extension faculty in the field to translate
the excellent work here at OSU into community-based
programs,” says Kathy Gunter, PhD ’03. Her first week
on the job was a good example of how she plans to carry
on that ideal: she presented a workshop to train practitioners
on osteoporosis risk-reduction exercises. Attendees
included community college teachers, physical therapists,
and community leaders who left with a practical, affordable
plan to offer the Better Bones and Balance class, which has
five years of research to show its beneficial outcomes.
Kathy’s job involves customizing programs for community
needs. For example, if diabetes is a major concern for
residents of a particular community, her job is to help local
practitioners find the funding and a proven program and
work with staff to deliver it at low cost and at a convenient
location. “And if we can’t find a program, we help develop
one based on current research, then follow through with
the community to evaluate the results,” explains Kathy.
“Our success will be based on how we respond to community
needs to create popular programs that truly impact
the health and well-being of individuals.”
Miyoung Lee, PhD
Assistant Professor, Movement

Designing
physical
activity
programs for
those with
disabilities
Miyoung Lee says her decision to come to OSU was
an easy one. She was attracted by the opportunity to
work with children and adults in the college’s programs for
individuals with disabilities. “The IMPACT program for
children and the Multiple Sclerosis Exercise Program for
adults provide rich opportunities to continue my research
in kinesmetrics. That’s the measurement and evaluation
aspect of kinesiology,” she explains. She recently earned her
PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
completing her dissertation on assessing energy expenditure
of physical activity in persons with spinal cord injuries.
While there, she was awarded ACSM’s prestigious Carl V.
Gisolfi Memorial Research Grant for her work.
Miyoung hopes to shed new light on how the Physical
Activity Compendium, a universal guide used to assess
energy expenditure, might be adapted to individuals with
disabilities. “We want to find the best methods to measure
physical activity and energy expenditure for these individuals
then develop programs that address the barriers to their
participation,” says Miyoung. “Physical activity and the
social engagement that can go along with it are particularly
important for those with disabilities and can greatly
improve their quality of life.”

Public health is a quiet field.... The successes of public health are largely invisible.
Our most important triumphs are failures that never occur. As you enter your

will make you rich…not in the material sense, but in the satisfaction that you
have devoted your lives to bettering the human condition.

Stress, Coping, and Development:
An Integrative Perspective
By Carolyn M. Aldwin • Guilford Press, 2007
To respond to the rapidly evolving study
of the physical, emotional, and positive
effects of stress, professor Carolyn
Aldwin expanded her second edition
with new insights into stress, how
we cope with it and can even benefit
by it. A leading expert in the field and
professor and chair of the Department
of Human Development and Family Sciences,
Carolyn examines the nature of
psychosocial stress, strategies individuals
use to cope with it, and implications
for adaptation and health across the
lifespan. Her multidisciplinary perspective
on coping with stress emphasizes
the transaction between mind and
body and between people and their
environments. New chapters address
physiology and physical health, and
Carolyn presents new information on
emotion regulation and stress-related
growth and the sociocultural and religious
aspects of coping.

Nutrition for Life
By Melinda Manore and Janice Thompson •
Benjamin Cummings, 2007
This practical textbook capitalizes on
students’ natural interest in nutrition by
demonstrating how nutrition relates to
their health, presenting nutrients based
on function rather than on chemical
classification. A chapter on minerals
organizes micronutrients according to
body functions, enabling students to
think about micronutrients at a conceptual
level and understand their importance.
Nutrition for Life also includes
applied features such as characters in
real-life nutrition/health scenarios, nutrition
label activities to evaluate food,
and See for Yourself activities. It also
provides hands-on, practical tips with
prescriptions for improving diet and,
thereby, enhancing overall health.
The Science of Nutrition
By Melinda Manore and Janice Thompson •
Benjamin Cummings, 2007
With a rigorous, science-based approach
to nutrition, this new textbook
includes chapters on disordered eating,
nutrition through the life cycle, and
global nutrition. The authors help dispel
common misconceptions and teach
students how to critically evaluate
information they hear from advertising,
mass media, and their peers. Nutrition
label activities teach students how to
read and evaluate labels, and nutrition
debates at the end of each chapter
contain in-depth coverage of current
events, such as vitamin and mineral
supplementation. Highlights throughout
the book provide insight into current
topics such as mad cow disease and
hyponatremia in marathon runners.

This historic moment
ndeed, this is an amazing place,” boasts Kevin Heaney,
“IOSU Foundation vice president for constituent
development programs and associate campaign director.
“And this is truly an historic moment for the College of
Health and Human Sciences, which in just five short years
has made transformational changes. Under the creative
leadership of dean Tammy Bray, this college has attracted
world-class faculty, welcomed record numbers of students,
enhanced the quality of curriculum, and made phenomenal
gains of 375 percent in research funding since 2003.
The Center for Healthy Aging Research has become a
model for interdisciplinary research across campus, and
the college is leading the way creating programs to engage
and ensure success for our students.”
This amazing momentum and energy has been fueled by
an $8 million gift to establish the Hallie Ford Center for
Healthy Children and Families in the college. The gift is
conditional, requiring the college to raise an additional
$2 million. Throughout her life Mrs. Ford, a noted philanthropist,
shard her generosity and asked for participation
from her beneficiaries, believing that an investment
together would be more meaningful.
“So, in the spirit of Hallie Ford, we invite all of our alumni
and friends to be part of this historic moment,” encourages
Heaney. “Join us as we celebrate this legacy of Hallie
Ford and help us in the challenge to raise the additional
$2 million and be a partner in establishing this important
center for research and teaching that will benefit all
Oregonians.”

This amazing place
As an alumna of our college, I am thrilled to be at
Oregon State University as we embark on our first ever
comprehensive capital campaign celebrating the diversity
and expanse of our wonderful alma mater! As you consider
a gift to the college during this historic campaign,
I encourage you to give to your passion…to student
engagement or scholarship, to faculty for their curriculum
and research, to specific programs or departments, or to
buildings. When you designate your gift toward the Hallie
Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families, you
will be helping us reach our goal of $2 million to see this
important center come to fruition.
This is an exciting opportunity to thank OSU for the difference
it made in your life and assure the same excellent
education for generations to come. I hope you’ll join me
in honoring our amazing college during this campaign.

Dr. Margy Woodburn
4 0
Who: Retired head of nutrition and food management
department, teacher, researcher, expert in food safety
and food microbiology for 25 years at OSU, and associate
dean of the Agriculture Experiment Station, the principal
agricultural research agency in the state.
Degrees: BS University of Illinois, home economics
education; MS foods and nutrition and PhD food science,
University of Wisconsin, Madison; postdoctorate
research as a National Research Council Fellow in Microbiology,
Fort Detrick, Maryland.
How her peers describe her: A powerful presence in
the classroom, an inspiring teacher, a dedicated mentor,
an engaging conversationalist, and a source of accurate,
useful, and up-to-date information on food safety.
Reflections on work: “I like the balance of research,
extension, and teaching that you find in a land grant university…and
the value of reaching out across the state to
help people. Working as a team with the dean, administration,
faculty, and students was energizing. Betty Hawthorne
had a lot of the same values as our current dean
Tammy Bray. She was well-organized, personable, set
Margy Woodburn says her
favorites foods are seasonal
vegetables from local farmers
markets and angel food cake
with lemon glaze, a “staple” for
pot lucks.
high standards and big goals, and was
impatient with wasting time or money.”
oSU legacy: To honor Margy’s retirement in 1994, the
Margy J. Woodburn Graduate Fellowship in Nutrition and
Food Management was established. Donations were
received from grateful graduates from Springfield, Oregon,
to Tokyo, Japan, with a major gift from the OSU Nutrition
and Foods Management alumnae group of Seoul, Korea.
Faculty and friends often celebrate Margy by giving to the
fellowship on her September birthday.
Favorite memories of food: “I grew up on a farm in rural
Illinois, and our family meals were always good times with
traditional food – meat, potatoes, vegetables, salad, and fruit
for dessert. As the oldest of five children, I enjoyed caring
for my siblings.”
Distinctions: Winner of the coveted Borden Award in Nutrition
and Food Science from the American Home Economics
Association, the Kellogg Gary Costley Award for Achievement
in Nutrition, OSU’s D. Curtis Mumford Faculty Service
Award, and the 2007 Oregon Association of Family and
Consumer Science Distinguished Service Award.
Proudest moments: “When internship announcements
came for our seniors, it was wonderful to see all those smiling
faces. We always had an excellent placement record.
Also, the mutual loyalty I shared with my graduate students.
I was so proud when they returned to tell me what a difference
their OSU education made in their lives.”
Since retirement: “I’m a ‘back-up’ for food safety information
and problem solving for Extension field offices, Master
Food Preservers/Family Food Educator volunteers, and for
faculty. Traveling has been a long-time hobby, with recent
trips including the Balkans and Switzerland.”
Food safety advice:
“Keeping our food safe is
the job of everyone from
farm to kitchen.... Wash
hands frequently, don’t eat
rare hamburger or tube
steak, and keep hot foods
hot and cold foods cold.”

Winter watch for depression
Thinking
about longterm
care
insurance?
Does a friend or family member seem depressed?
Here are some ways to support them:
• Help them set small, attainable goals that have
immediate results.
• Suggest structure and physical activity…walk,
shop, go to a movie.
• Invite them to engage in activities that reinforce
pleasant events and build a sense of self-worth.

Raising healthy children
• Give lots of hugs but don’t
be a push-over parent!
Combining warmth with
clear limit-setting is a very
effective parenting style.
• Help children practice their
social skills and self-control…
this is very important, especially
during the preschool and
early school years.
• Limit TV and educational
video watching for all children, especially those under
age two. Encourage them to play and explore instead.

and Family Sciences
Good Fat…Bad Fat
Know the difference…
your life depends on it!
The amount and type of fat we eat contribute
to our overall health. Check your daily calorie
intake…no more than
• 30% should come from fat
• 10% from saturated fatty acids (meat and dairy)
• 10% from monounsaturated fatty acids (olive oil)

How much is enough?

In today’s increasingly labor-saving device-
dependent society, it’s easy to be enticed into
physical inactivity. To get maximum health
benefit from your physical activity, keep these
numbers in mind:
• 150 minutes of physical activity per week for adults
• 300 minutes of physical activity per week for children
• For adults who want to lose weight, double up for
300 minutes per week.

and Exercise Sciences, Fellow of the American
Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education
The reason you buy it is to protect your assets if you need to pay for assisted
living, home care, or a nursing home stay. Some important reminders:
• Start looking into policies in your 50s, when premiums are lower.
• Go with a well-known company.
• It’s not for everyone…buying coverage should not cause financial hardship.
