We could also add a couple park benches for some weary walkers to rest their feet. The spruce-up job would not be outrageously expensive or labor in- tensive— well, maybe getting rid of that Wein Building eyesore would take some doing. The empty lots could be made into parking lots and pocket parks. However, the real danger we face is from the absolute abandonment of our historic downtown. The State of Alaska without an if-you-please has threatened to suck the life out of Front Street and move it to a big box on Sixth Avenue. While Nomeites scratch their heads and say, “What the…?” the state goes full bore ahead thinking it knows whatʼs best for us. Woah! If we are to have new state offices letʼs assess the available lots on Front Street. Letʼs also look at the of- fice space that is available. Letʼs look at the new buildingʼs architec- tural design. Letʼs make sure it fits our historic image and letʼs let our local contractors build it. Letʼs put a stop to putting business structures helter-skelter in areas that can be better utilized for housing and recre- ation. Letʼs put the brakes on the stateʼs steam roller. The State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities will be at the City Council Work Session Wednesday June 9 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at City Hall.

Allen Kimoktoak Named Maintenance Person of the Year Allen Kimoktoak, maintenance worker from Koyuk-Malemute School, was selected as 2009 BSSD Maintenance Person of the Year by a district maintenance panel. Allen has worked at Koyuk school since 1988 and was selected based on several qualities and strengths. First and foremost, the pride Allen takes in his work is obvious to all. He is willing to do the extra things to make sure the school reflects Koyuk in a positive manner. He is dedicated to ensuring the school functions properly and is a safe and comfortable place for student learning. Also, Allen is a dependable employee, completing monthly paperwork and working independently to solve maintenance problems. He is willing to ask questions of supervisors when necessary, and then tackle the tasks at hand. Finally, Allen has shown his willing- ness to work with others, both site custodians/staff and district itinerant work- ers, in a cooperative manner. For these and many more reasons, Koyuk- Malemute School and BSSD is proud to recognize the efforts of Allen Kimoktoak.

However, as a result of both a national movement to return the arts to our schools (for the sake of art itself) combined with a growing understanding that many students learn better in all of the content areas when information is presented both linguistically (words and numbers) and non- Imagine a world in which all of people became linguistically (pictures, graphs, music, photos, and highly educated in reading, writing and video sequences); teachers are finding more and mathematics, but in which no art existed to more ways to bring art back into their classrooms. express joy, frustration, contentment or passion.

Nature Takes Over St. Michael School celebrates the newly hung metalwork art pieces and painted murals of moose, whales, geese, cranes, salmon, and other beasts. Commissioned metal artist Larry Mostello, and muralist James Adcox brought these animals to the school for students to enjoy.

What’s the Hang Up?

White Mountain School has a new hang up. Community members and students cooperated to create the 89 piece fence project as part of their latest commissioned art. They designed, traced, cut, filed, drilled, primed, painted, sealed and then hung the artwork on the 90’ fence outside the school. This project was made possible through the generous support of the Bering Strait School District, the Alaska State Council on the Arts and NSEDC. Next time you are in White Mountain, make sure to check out our newest creation.?

Chairman 6/3 6/3 THE NOME NUGGET HEALTH THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 2010 25 American Heart Association endorses active video games ByBob Lawrence, MD The well known “heart check logo” of the American Heart Association (AHA) may show up soon on more than just heart-healthy foods. Last week the AHA granted permission for Nintendo, the maker of the Wii video game system, to place a version of the AHA endorsement logo on games that meet the association’s criteria for increasing physical activity. This endorsement represents a change in the way the medical community views video games. Obesity is now considered a public health epidemic in the United States, and for decades, video games were seen as part of the problem. To encour- age more active play and athletic participation, the American Acad- emy of Pediatrics guidelines previ- ously recommended limiting screen time for children to only two hours daily. But video games have become more active, and studies show that active games increase energy expen- diture to levels similar to other forms of active play. For example, a study published in the journal Pediatrics in 2006 showed that playing a video game while seated increases energy expenditure only 20 percent above resting rates, but playing the active game Dance Dance Revolution (Konami Digital En- tertainment) increased energy expenditure by 170 percent over resting rates. Nintendo has agreed to donate $1.5 million to the American Heart Asso- ciation as part of the new partnership, causing critics to question whether the AHA logo can be bought. However, the AHA insists the endorsement is tar- geted at people of all ages who are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus due to inactivity. The AHA “Get Active” website now features children and adults playing the Nintendo Wii. Certain Nintendo Wii games allow participants to play well-known sports like tennis, golf, bowling, bicycling, and boxing. The Wii Fit uses a balance board that will measure weight, calculate body mass index (BMI), and trend a player’s fitness over time. The games tend to engage family members of all ages allowing grandparents and children to play along side, and often against, each other. Interestingly, active video games like Wii Sports have brought on a new form of sports injury jokingly called “Nintenditis” or “Wii-itis.” Just like any sports activity, active play on video games can cause overuse injuries like sore muscles, tendonitis, low back pain, and in severe cases, torn muscles or ligaments. But true injuries are rare, and most physicians would much pre- fer to hear active patients say, “I am having a little pain in my knees” than to hear inactive patients say, “I’m having a little pain in my chest.” No one endorses the idea that video games will replace the healthy aspects of authentic play or athletic participation, but the American Heart Association believes the Nintendo Wii provides a forum for otherwise sedentary patients to stay active and thereby lower their risk of cardiovascular disease. So don’t be ashamed to tell your doctor the new shoulder pain is from play- ing video games. He will likely approve. Just don’t tell him it occurred while boxing with your grandkids. L E TIER II Reporting The Nome LEPC is presenting government agencies and private entities P in the Bering Straits Region with information related to Tier II reporting requirements. This is in accordance with federal regulations in Title III of C the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Section 312, Public Law 99499, codified at 42 U.S.C. Section 11022.
