The HughesMixing Artifact Bags and Family

chris Hughes is a father of three who spends most Monday and Wednesday evenings toiling away in his upstairs workshop on Farnam Street It is a

curious space filled with antiquities and tools akin to his trademdashcustom leather bags

He fulfills orders from across the world assembling packages containing his hand-constructed waterproof tote bags briefcases and artisanal aprons crafted with quality materials


by Jennifer Litton photography by Bill Sitzmannmeet the family

ldquoI wanted the items that I designed and sold to have a timeless quality to them I wanted someone to look at them years in the future and say lsquolook at this artifactrsquordquo Hughes says Hence you have the evolution of the name of his business Artifact Bag Co a thriving online business that Hughes started more than four years ago

Hughes says that being an entrepreneur is a constantly evolving process of new experiences ldquoThe minute I get comfortable with something I take on a new challenge Irsquom always throwing myself into the fire so that Irsquom never

comfortable When you come home from days of that you really just feel like your legs are rubber bands You feel like you could just collapserdquo

In a flip-the-switch moment Hughes dons his daddy hat before stepping in the door at home ldquoThe minute I cross that threshold into my house Irsquove got two boys and a girl that are jumping up onto me I have to kick in the afterburners I just have to be present because for them theyrsquore fresh and they want to see their dadrdquo he says His children are Kit 6 Levi 4 and Jane 2 gt

meet the family continued

lt Hughesrsquo schedule has him spending weekdays at his shop surrounded by a small team of craftsmen and craftswomen who assist him as business demands He also works until almost 11 pm a few nights of the week and at least one weekend day

He says his demanding schedule sometimes frustrates his children ldquoIt pulls me away from them so oftenrdquo But they do enjoy visiting their dadrsquos cool space ldquoTheyrsquore fascinated by the workspace because of all of the machines and all of the materialsrdquo

His wife is Beth Hughes who works as a speech-language pathologist at the RiteCare Speech and Language Clinic located in the Munroe-Meyer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center The couple went to school together at Westside High School but didnrsquot actually date until years later when the two crossed paths again while Beth was in graduate school

Beth says that having an Internet-based business can make finding the right balance between family and work challenging ldquoThe Internet never stops So itrsquos not like Chris can just walk away at 5 pm and say lsquoOh the shoprsquos closed for the dayrsquo There are always more things to do in terms of emails to respond to and social media stuff to post and promote and things to research for projects that he has coming uprdquo she says

ldquoIrsquom learning every day and I make mistakes every day Irsquom very fortunate to have a great

group of friends whorsquove been on this parenting road a little bit longer than I have that

I can learn fromrdquo-Beth Hughes


But knowing that the family sets aside evenings for sit-down meals and plans one day out of each weekend to spend together provides a home base for sanity ldquoGetting some sort of schedule just so that we all know what to expect has been helpfulrdquo she says

As a mother Beth says she feels privileged to help her children grow and develop into the people that theyrsquore meant to be ldquoI like to help foster their interests and teach them things and to see things through their eyes Itrsquos just fascinatingrdquo

She finds strength in her support system of mommy friends ldquoIrsquom learning every day and I make mistakes every day Irsquom very fortunate to have a great group of friends whorsquove been on this parenting road a little bit longer than I have that I can learn fromrdquo Hughes says

The kids keep active with swim lessons fishing tee-ball and riding bikes Some Sunday mornings one might find the Hughes family over at the Bagel Binmdasha family favorite They also love going to the zoo

Friday nights are family movie nights ldquoIrsquoll make popcorn on the stoverdquo Chris says ldquoThey love watching Star Wars over and over again They like that good versus evil kind of stuffrdquo

Hughes is inspired by his childrenrsquos creativity ldquoAll of the sudden a card table becomes a fort to drape blankets over or a stick becomes a rifle Theyrsquore just constantly interpreting their environment in very imaginative waysrdquo

ldquoThey havenrsquot really been taught that they are not artists or those other things that happen in life when people dash peoplersquos dreams and hopes They are still very optimisticrdquo he says

ldquoIn many ways I never lost sight of that either so on some level I relate with themrdquoemsp

ground Oh yesmdashdonrsquot forget those flat merry-go-rounds that sent children skidding off the perimeter

As children we wanted playground toys that were faster higher and more intense but from an adult perspective itrsquos safety first Or as Stratman puts it ldquoYour perception of what you see on a playground drastically changes when you become a parentrdquo

Contemporary playgrounds still deliver the thrill but rein in the risk for kids of all ages and abilities says owner of Crouch Recreation Eric Crouch As a Heisman Trophy winner for the Nebraska Cornhuskers he knows about the unpleasantness of hitting the ground hard

The companyrsquos installations can be seen all over the metro area in public locations such as Benson Park Vogel Park and Stinson Park as well as other sites such as SIDs commercial daycares and schools throughout Nebraska Iowa and South Dakota

if you come from early Omaha stock itrsquos likely your parents grandparents great-grandparents and maybe even your great-great-grandparents grew up

frolicking on the City of Omaharsquos playground equipment

ldquoThe movement for playgrounds really came about in the late 1890srdquo says Tracy Stratman recreation manager for the City of Omaha Parks amp Recreation Department ldquoIt all started in the inner cities to create locations for kids to actually get out and have constructive play That way they could deter negative activities and youth crimerdquo

Gone though are many of the early playground standards You wonrsquot see the sheet-metal slides that sizzled in the sunshine and featured steep narrow steps Itrsquos nearly impossible to find tall teeter-totters (Anyone else remember crashing to the ground when the child on the other end suddenly scooted off) or high slick monkey bars positioned over a shallow layer of sand on hard

Playing it SafeThe high speeds and big falls may be gone but the fun remains on

Omaharsquos modern playgrounds


ldquoAccessibility is huge and safety is one of the top factors Quality of equipment and sometimes design factors into it as wellrdquo Crouch says ldquoWe want things to be safe to look nice and to stand the test of timerdquo

Industry standards are guided by the American Society for Testing and Materials the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Americans with Disabilities Act Crouch says But manufacturers have found ways to keep the old standbys (ldquoYou really miss the mark if you donrsquot include slides or swingsrdquo) only with safermdashand sometimes more funmdashoptions from saucer seats and wide platform slide entrances to spring supports for see saws and pliable surfacing

ldquoWe are so safety-conscious today and wersquore making improvements but wersquore seeing the throwback to what we did as kidsrdquo Stratman says

Larger playground structures are typically modular so clients can create one-of-a-kind arrangements with more features than ever available Crouch says

ldquoNow kids will get to a park and they see something that will interest them How do I use this It takes a little bit of their mind and their body strength to look at a piece of equipment and interact with itrdquo Crouch says ldquoNew designs stimulate creative thinkingrdquo

Other innovative elements seen on todayrsquos playgrounds include the use of environmentally-friendly materials custom designs that integrate into the surroundings shade structures seating for parents or caregivers stroller- and wheelchair-accessible paths and even sports and fitness features to make parks appealing to all ages

But one thing never changes Stratman says ldquoThe confidence building as well as the social skills you learn on the playground are limitlessrdquoemsp

once yoursquove slipped slowly into plant-lady insanity like I have you start to accumulate more

plants than floor space The simplest and most attractive solution Just hang new creations from the ceiling

Besides the occasional blunt-object-to-the-head the liability is minimal And nobody trips over hanging plants Your dogs canrsquot knock them over on the way to the window and small humans arenrsquot digging into them

Since the plastic hangers that come with plants arenrsquot exactly appealing know that there is a cheap natural-looking option Thatrsquos right we are throwing it back to the lsquo70s Irsquom talking about macrameacute emsp


diyby Kristen Hoffman photography by Bill Sitzmann

Macrameacuteniac

Start with four pieces of jute that are two times as long as your desired length Fold all four in half and tie an overhand knot creating a loop near the top to make a hanger

Tie the remaining end pieces to one another Continue this process of knotting until you have your desired pattern (Tip tying knots too close to the knots above may constrict the size of planter you can fit in your hanger)

Separate strings into four pairs of two and tie each pair together about a third of the way down the length of the strings

Gather up the strings and tie off the bottom Starting above the top level of knots carefully place the potted plant into the hanger This may be tricky so having another set of hands helps

She wrote a second book sort of a Mean Girls meets Pretty in Pink

Her agent sent the book out to a short list of editors one asking if she would like to try a science fiction trilogy for young adults instead Kuper was a ldquoscience fiction geekrdquo so she knew she could do it

Anomaly about a girl named Josie who can push and retract reality was created based on a quantum physics theory

ldquoI loved that it was about a girl who was fighting to save her familyrdquo Madison Schuetz 14 says She just finished the book and loved the dual points of view Every chapter switches from Josie to Reid a boy character who helps Josie train so the book isnrsquot gender specific gt

tonya Kuper was bored As a stay-at-home mom her 4-year-old son and baby kept her hopping Her husband

would eat dinner play with the kids and help her put them to bed As an attorney he would often head back to work until the early morning hours

Therefore Kuper had nights to herself She devoured books like Dracula Pride and Prejudice and Harry Potter Not so surprising for someone with a masterrsquos degree in reading She binge-watched The Vampire Diaries but there was only just so much Ian Somerhalder to drool over

Kuperrsquos story doesnrsquot have a romantic beginning She needed to clean one weekend when her eldest acted up

ldquoJust please take him downstairs Hersquos like the son of the devilrdquo she jokingly said to her husband

Man itrsquod suck falling in love with the devilrsquos son HmmhellipThat would be good story Kuperrsquos thoughts soon transformed into words on a page Closer a story about a girl falling in love with the devilrsquos son would be her first novel

ldquoIt was terriblerdquo Kuper recalls with a laugh

Kuper wrote for fun but three quarters of the way in she researched the publishing world She soon amassed an entire file full of rejections Friends family and her husband supported her through it all She learned a lot about herself in the process including that it is okay not to have everyone like her ldquoIf you are going to write you have to have thick skin and buck uprdquo she advises future writers


feature continued

lt Kuper 37 soon changed from full-time mom to full-time writer

ldquoI have the best job ever I kill people for a livingrdquo Kuper says

Tears ran down Kuperrsquos cheeks the first time she saw her book on the shelves at Barnes amp Noble She scared the girl in front of her who was buying Anomaly Kuper signed her first book on the spot

ldquoCreate your own realityrdquo is something she typically writes to teenagers during book signings Kuper grew up with little money in a small cornfield town in western Illinois her father was an auto mechanic and her mother a stay-at-home mom Kuper had to work hard for her future

ldquoDo whatever you want to do Think of the biggest thing and then work for itrdquo Kuper tells teenagers She plays a bit with her blue scarf detailed fittingly with Rebel symbols from Star Wars Kuper adds an element of the movie such as Josiersquos Vader T-shirt into each book

Anomaly published by Entangled took off hitting the bestseller list on Kindle for science fiction and science fiction romance Recently it reached the top of the bestselling teen science fiction as well Her second book in the Schrodingerrsquos Consortium trilogy Enigma wonrsquot be available until this October

ldquoI want it to be out like nowrdquo Schuetz says

Kuper is currently comfortable in her own skin

After Kuperrsquos first signing at the American Association Conference she had an ampersand tattoo etched into her wrist ldquoIn writing when you add an lsquoandrsquo the possibilities are endless And now I have my lsquoandrsquordquoemsp

Earth ChildrenKids can learn countless lessons in the gardenwith summer vacation and a

welcome reprieve from the classroom under way spring

is a great time to teach kids lessons in greener pastures Spending time in the garden with mom and dad not only helps get kids outside but can also unearth some hidden interests

Scott Evans the Horticulture Program Coordinator for UNLrsquos Extension office in Douglas and Sarpy counties got his start in plants as a kid and his passion never faded He grew up around nurseries with garden-loving parents and despite a childhood obsession with dinosaurs springtime visits to greenhouses in Council Bluffs made him into a plant guy

ldquoThe smell of earth and that dampness is still something that to this day when I walk into a gardening center just brings back very fond memoriesrdquo says Evans

Even if your kids arenrsquot crazy about plants Evans believes that working hands-on with flowers vegetables and shrubs can teach kids important lessons about sustainability especially if theyrsquore not around plants all that much in the first place

ldquoWhen kids grow up in urban settings they donrsquot realize where their food comes from Theyrsquore missing that connection from where food actually comes fromrdquo says Evans

To make the experience more fun for parents and children alike be sure to tailor your gardening routine to whatever your kid is interested in Parents can get their creativity budding by browsing Pinterest or other websites for gardening project ideas

Have a child who has a craving for homemade pizza Grow the necessary ingredients togethermdashtomatoes onions peppers etc If your kids love fairy tales plant vegetables and flowers with whimsical namesmdashtherersquos the Snow White carrot and the Purple Dragon carrot for starters Or try planting flowers with a variety of fun colors smells and textures for those still exploring their interests like Gardenias or Woolly Lambrsquos Ear

For children who are too young to start taking care of plants on their own pulling weeds and watering plants alongside adults are good tasks Many gardening stores even have smaller easy-to-carry

watering cans or trowels designed just for the budding young gardeners While adult supervision is key Evans says to not be afraid of letting kids get their hands dirty The more involved they are in the project the more likely they are to stay interested

Evans also recommends teaching kids simple biology principles that will help them understand how plants grow Explain to them how plants arenrsquot like animals in that they make their own food and thus need to have a proper amount of sunlight and water to flourish

Finally remember to start small Remind children that even with tender loving care not every plant will bloom and donrsquot try to grow an entire greenhouse overnight Even just starting with a few pots or another container garden can teach kids valuable horticulture lessons and help their creativity bloom

ldquoItrsquos like when we go to dinnermdashour eyes are bigger than our platerdquo says Evans ldquoJust starting small allows for a greater success and then when you have that success you can continue to build upon itrdquoemsp

damon Bell took one step onto the Edmund Pettus Bridge and heard silence Real silence the kind that made him pause and remember

This was where 600 people marched 50 years earlier hoping to complete the 54-mile journey from Selma to the state capitol in Montgomery Instead they were brutally assaulted by Alabama law enforcement officers beaten with billy clubs crushed by horses and attacked by dogs in what would be known as ldquoBloody Sundayrdquo

Damon Bell

wrote his way to the 50th anniversary commemoration of the Selma march

It would be the same path the Rev Martin Luther King Jr would take in his dress shoes in second and third marches to the capitol

Now here was Damon trudging along in his gray and white Air Jordan sneakers He could feel this in the silencemdashthe weight of history heavy on his 12-year-old shoulders His father Jermaine had tears in his eyes

ldquoThey always say you donrsquot know where yoursquore going until you know where yoursquove been so Irsquom going to get a chance to find out where I came fromrdquo-Damon Bell

A white man sauntered up to Damon and his group near the middle of the bridge He was holding a huge white sign that read simply ldquoIrsquom sorryrdquo He explained how he had lived in Selma when the marches happened and thought there was just nothing he could do to help

ldquoIt was a sight Irsquoll never forgetrdquo Jermaine recalls

Damon wanted to explore the rich history of his peoplersquos struggle So when the Omaha Housing Authority sponsored an essay contest in which students were asked to detail why they would like to make the trip to Selma Damon just had to enter

He wrote ldquoThey always say you donrsquot know where yoursquore going until you know where yoursquove been so Irsquom going to get a chance to find out where I came fromrdquo

OHA football coach Gannie Clark hosted the contest wanting to share the experience of Selma with a younger generation He agreed with the sentiments in Damonrsquos essay

ldquoWe need to teach tolerance before we are doomedrdquo he says

OHA wanted to offer a chance for young people to participate in events surrounding the 50th anniversary of the marches that led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which banned racial discrimination for voters Despite the thousands of people in attendance Damon says the entire day ldquowas peace a lot of peacerdquo

He saw influential black leaders such as President Barack Obama Rev Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King III And he talked with actor Chris Tucker who gave Damon his autograph

At a museum in Selma Jermaine noticed Damon on his phone as they observed the footage of what happened that fateful day on March 7 1965 Damon just couldnrsquot stand to see people get hurt gt

Damon Bell at the Spencer Street Barber Shop


young hero continued

lt Jermaine told his son he needed to watch it even if it was tough

ldquoHe needs to know what actually happenedrdquo he says ldquoOur right to vote came with blood sweat and tearsrdquo

Damon feels everyone should vote and even if someone believes it doesnrsquot really matter it is important to take the chance

Clark who lived about 90 miles from the bridge says the outing was good for Damon and the other kids to see a different perceptive ldquoRacism in Omaha is like racism in Selmardquo Clark says ldquoI told the boys during the trip to use their anger to speak out use their anger to fight against any kind of injustice It isnrsquot a blackwhite thing It is an American thingrdquo

Racism is getting worse Jermaine believes He doesnrsquot feel people are making progress Damon knows it is still an issue but feels like the world is changing

He hopes the future will be full of peace His goal is to someday be a professional football player or an engineer

When Damon is not attending Scared Heart School as a sixth grader his classroom is at Goodwinrsquos Spencer Street Barber Shop where his father has worked for the past 20 years Damon is a fixture there almost every day listening and learning from such men as owner Dan Goodwin and others Goodwin marched on Washington and shook hands with Malcolm X A shop window broken over 46 years agomdashintentionally left unrepaired to this daymdashis a powerful reminder of racial tensions in Omaha A bullet (Goodwin believes fired by police) smashed the pane during the 1969 riots that erupted after a police officer shot and killed an unarmed girl 14-year-old Vivian Strong

Jermaine says that is what makes his son a smart kid learning both sides of the table

Despite living in ldquothe hoodrdquo Jermaine will never leave ldquoI love North Omahardquo he says proudly emsp

perhaps there is no age that can appreciate the joys of summer more than the teens Swimsuit

weather no homework driving privilegeshellipfinally Even those older teenagers with jobs have time and freedom unlike during the school year It is a glorious time in which lifelong memories are made

But getting there safely takes a little planning and perhaps good ideas and a little encouragement from mom or dad

Left to their own devices it would be easy for many teens to quickly fall into negative patterns once the last bell sounds on the school year While therersquos certainly a place for sleeping in lazy days and video game marathons no one including your teen is going to feel good about a summer in which nothing else is accomplished Or as they might say the week before school starts ldquoI feel like I wasted my whole vacationrdquo

Or even worse they have too much freedom leading to trouble or tragedy

In the Omaha area there are many options for teens to get involved If you havenrsquot already talked with your student about creating a plan for how they will spend their break you still can

Many of the big-three choices are already determined by this time summer employment summer school or other school-related activities like athletics or band camp It may not be too late for your teen to still find a job but the longer they wait the harder it may be for them to find something they like that will be flexible enough for their other summer activities

If a job is not an option there are other ways to encourage your teen to stay somewhat productive and busy Look for volunteer opportunities Even if they are not ongoing having established projects will keep kids active and learning Check with your place of worship your schoolmdasheven your own workplace might provide opportunities for teens to volunteer

Teen driving fatalities start going up in June and peak in August

Local nonprofits have their own rules about their volunteer workforce Special rules apply when working directly with clients but in Omaha especially non-profit organizations hold events nearly every weekend and can always use willing workers to help Fundraising events like golf tournaments 5K runs or auctions generally rely on volunteer power to be successful Projects like these are terrific ways for older teens to strengthen their resumes for college or future employment

Just setting a minimum standard or goal for the summer is a step forward for many kids For example one goal might be that your child will be responsible for getting dinner on the table twice each week plus keeping the yard mowed and trimmedmdashwhatever makes sense in your home The idea is that your teen is not left with endless and empty days to fill with no direction or support

Parents should also be aware that summermdashnot wintermdashis by far the most dangerous time for teen drivers Teen driving fatalities start going up in June and peak in August You may want to have a conversation that revisits basic safe driving rules about having additional teens in the vehicle drinking and driving texting and driving and frankly unnecessary driving

Above all cherish the time you still have with your children at home Enjoy the adults they are becoming and do what you can to help them get theremdashhappily and safelyemsp

HE DIDNrsquoT WIN BUT BRAINY TEACHER CHRIS GRINVALDS DID FULFILL HIS DREAM OF BEING ON THE SHOW

I LOST ON

JeopardyI LOST ON


by Danielle Herzog photography by Bill Sitzmannfeature

it was a big day in Chris Grinvaldsrsquo life when Jeopardy came back on the air in 1984 after a nine-year hiatus Every day at his grandparentsrsquo home in Yutan Neb

Grinvalds and his family would sit together and watch question after question to see who would win it all in Final Jeopardy Never in his wildest dreams did he think that 30 years later he would get the chance to do it himself

Grinvalds 42 loves trivia He loves it so much he says that it makes more sense to him than any textbook hersquos ever read According to Grinwalds trivia is ldquohow I learnrdquo For years he attempted to put his skills to good use by applying over and over again to Jeopardyrsquos online auditions But he was never chosen Until one announcement changed everything

While teaching marketing world history and computers at Bennington High School Grinvalds learned that Jeopardy was holding targeted tryouts in Omaha He submitted his application and hoped that this was finally his chance Two weeks later in December 2013 he got a call inviting him to come to an audition in downtown Omaha

When he arrived there were 200 people divided into four groups of 50 First they had to complete a written trivia exam and if they passed they were called out in groups of three to play a mock game They answered a dozen questions while the cameras rolled to see how they would do on screen Grinvalds nailed it He felt confident excited and hopeful

But then he waited And waited And never heard back from them

Nearly one year later the phone rang

ldquoChrisrdquo said the caller ldquoWhat are you doing in December We want you to be in the teachersrsquo tournament for Jeopardyrdquo

His dream was actually happening

But what he didnrsquot anticipate was how much stress it would cause For the two months leading up to the competition Grinvalds dealt with insomnia shingles and a massive increase in anxiety and anxiousness He was more nervous than he had ever been in his life

A comfort to him was his school community His principal Dr Matt Blomenkamp was behind Grinvalds every step of the way He told him to do whatever he needed to prepare and be on the show In fact the entire school supported him through the whole journey They even threw a large viewing party in the common area after the show had airedmdashcomplete with snacks an abundance of television screens and more than 100 students in attendance

And when the day to compete finally arrived Grinvalds felt mentally prepared The problem was he couldnrsquot get his nerves to calm down From the second he hit the stage he wasnrsquot comfortable All the years of waiting for this opportunity overwhelmed him And although he competed strong and made it with thousands of dollars to Final Jeopardy he just couldnrsquot finish as the winner

But to his school and to himself he did win

ldquoI didnrsquot lose anything out thererdquo says Grinvalds Hersquos even planning to give it another go after his three-year waiting period is over ldquoI havenrsquot quit doing crossword puzzles and triviardquo he says ldquoIrsquom going back even stronger and Irsquoll definitely be ready next timerdquoemsp

Oh dear I look like

Nick Noltersquos Mug Shot

itrsquos summertime and Irsquom taking full advantage of the fact that my kids are preteens and sleeping in Camp Mom

is pretty laid back and the kids seem to appreciate it Yesterday I filled up 50 water balloons declared my contribution to their summer fun and went inside to read my book

Max asks if we can go swimming I tell him that I just need to finish one more thought and then we wersquoll go Two hours later I finish the thought Once we get to the pool I see a bunch of familiar moms that I havenrsquot seen in a while

I wave to the fellow gym moms There was a half-hearted ldquoDo I know yourdquo kind of reciprocation wave Thatrsquos when I get a glimpse of myself in the window reflection Itrsquos not that I feel like I should get all dolled up to go to the pool itrsquos that I look that awful

My hair is a wirey mess I have no make-up on and my current summer wardrobe is whatever I grab out of my laundry basket as Irsquom putting away the clean clothes

which happens to be full-length faded gym sweats in the middle of summer a t-shirt and my flip-flops from last year

Itrsquos evident that to these very put-together moms I look a little bit homeless And whatrsquos the point in showering and washing my hair anyway if Irsquom going swimming In short think of that famous Nick Nolte mug shot from several years ago

It hasnrsquot occurred to me until just now that I look like a mom begging for help

I smile with pride because Irsquom living a dream Irsquom a writer and mom This is apparently what it looks like I donrsquot have it all together but I do indeed have it all I mentally ldquohigh fiverdquo myself and play frisbee with the kids for a while

When we leave the pool I wave to the now-concerned moms Irsquove always been a low-maintenance kind of a gal but right now I realize Irsquom a no-maintenance gal I resolve to maybe give a slight bit of effort to my summer look Camp Mommy takes on a new meaningemsp

Ashley Keenan at last yearrsquos Summer Arts

Festival


Not Just for Adults

The ever-evolving Summer Arts Festival now offers several family and youth activities

the Omaha Summer Arts Festival has been one of Omaharsquos great family-oriented summer events for more

than 40 years Itrsquos a three-day wonderland for the senses starting with the compelling colors and amazing textures in thousands of works of art under canopies lining both sides of a five-block stretch along Farnam Street and the Gene Leahy Mall Live music enhances the festive atmosphere and a huge variety of goodies and refreshments round out a full-on sensory immersion

This year families with children under 10 are expressly welcomed with a subsection of the festival just for themmdasha Saturday

and Sunday (June 6 and 7) Childrenrsquos Fair with its own family entertainment stage and activities Community organizations offer a wide range of art-related crafts and games centered around a theme which this year is ldquoHow Does Your G-ART-en Growrdquo Admission is free and many Childrenrsquos Fair activities are free as well Other crafts require up to four 50-cent activity tickets a fee organizers say helps to offset materials costs

But the heart of any arts fair is the artistsrsquo market and a new program introduced last year called Art Collectors in Training (ACT) cultivates an early appreciation for

lifestyleby Kara Schweiss photography provided by the Omaha Summer Arts Festival

art that hopefully lasts well beyond the event ACT inspired by a highly successful program developed by a Tampa arts festival encourages children ages five to 10 to buy original pieces of art they select themselves

ldquoACT was such a hit last year that wersquore bringing it back for two full daysmdashSaturday and Sundaymdashat this yearsrsquo festivalrdquo says Elizabeth Balazs the festivalrsquos manager The artwork for the ACT booth is priced at $5 or less and every piece is donated by professional artists who are participating in the market ldquoYoung buyers and their families can visit the artist at his or her booth to ask questions about their new treasure and maybe even have their original work signed by the artistrdquo she says

Omaha Summer Arts Festival is collaborating with The 402 Arts Collective to coordinate the ACT program this year Balazs says

The 402 Arts Collective is a network of artists who advocate for the arts in Omaha Collective members will be on hand at the ACT booth to assist kids in selecting art and encouraging them to get the most out of the program

Omaha Summer Arts Festival also features the Young Artist Exhibition for students in grades six through 12 representing more than 30 area schools Their artwork is displayed in gallery space on two floors of the W Dale Clark Main Library during the festival and artists may choose to participate in live art demonstrations or offer their works for sale as well

ldquoThe Young Artist Exhibition is celebrating 20 years this year and it gives budding artists what is often their very first opportunity to show their work to a wider audiencerdquo Balazs says ldquoNot only does the exhibition support arts education it gives talented students a chance to shinerdquoemsp

clouds can be real jerks Donrsquot get me wrong Irsquom all for them when playing a lazy afternoon

game of scanning the skies for accidental compositions that bear a resemblance to a fluffy elephant indian chief or bunny rabbit

And to be fair vapors of the cirrus variety are innocent enough Whatrsquos there not to like about the diaphanous tendrils of these angelic waifs of the cloud world No itrsquos those bulbous low-hanging cumuli (derived from the Latin for ldquopoopie headrdquo if I remember correctly) that are the real troublemakers

These bad boys of the ethers demon-strated their bratty stubbornness on a recent camping trip with my preschool-age grandsons Barrett and Easton The plan was that a campfire soiree would yield to a bit of sleepy-eyed stargazing With star chart in hand Irsquod be champing at the bit to regale the boys in a constellation-by-constellation exploration of the heavens Oh what celestial beauties awaited Orion Ursa Major And (all together now) Betelgeuse Betelgeuse Betelgeuserdquo

But a thick blanket hung and pelted us with seven hours of continuous rain through the shank of the day Like I said clouds can be real jerks As if to further taunt us they receded to reveal a canopy of stars only after the kids were tucked away in their sleeping bags

So for now Irsquoll have to settle for stargazing of the indoor variety the kind that had occurred a few weeks earlier in a visit to The Rose childrenrsquos theater The gloriously gaudy space is a visual treat in itself but leave it to a small child to be swept away by the simplest of sights Midway through the play I noticed out of the corner of my eye that 5-year-old Easton wasnrsquot paying attention to the actors Instead he was craning his neck skyward The production called for a dragon-shaped constellation to be projected on the ceiling Overhead was a slow-motion parade of stars drifting across the vault of the majestic theater a mesmerizing star field watching over starlets on the stage below

It was as if Easton was chewing up the entire cosmos and digesting it in one big intergalactic gulp The look on Eastonrsquos face was one of awe-filled wonder It was as if he was chewing up the entire cosmos and digesting it in one big intergalactic gulp All I could do for what seemed an eternity was to observe the observer combining the viewer and the view If only I could have bottled the look in his eyes to make it last a lifetime

Sure it was an experience that I had hoped to capture under real stars but grandpas canrsquot be too choosy There will be other camping trips other starry nights For now Irsquoll just have to soak up the magic whenever and wherever it comesemsp
