Cascade Discovery Releases December/January Issue
BEND, OREGON — Just in time for the Christmas holidays, Central Oregon’s premiere Baby Boomer magazine, Cascade Discovery, has released its December/January issue, which brings messages of gratitude in keeping with the holiday season.
“I am convinced that gratefulness is the key to a happier life, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy – because we will always want to have something else or something more,” Cascade Discovery publisher Pamela Hulse Andrews writes in her latest editorial, a message on her secrets to happiness.
Andrews’ dog Indiana, a popular columnist in his own right with his regular “Dogs Rule” feature, reflects on the virtues of puppy love in his latest piece.
“I knew we dogs were great icebreakers, but now the word is definitely getting out,” Indiana writes, discussing a growing online community of matchmaking websites for dog lovers.
This issue also features a guide to using writing to sort through your emotions, an article about the illusion of security in your life, and the benefits of using the “Cellerciser,”
By jumping on the Cellerciser, a mini trampoline, experts say you can get a fun and simple – yet effective -- cardiovascular workout.
“Cellercise is…a revolution in the best method of exercise,” says Dr. Morton Walker, D.P.M., in an article written by Sondra Holtzman. “All cells become simultaneously activated by jumping in a fluid motion.”
Lastly, the issue’s cover story features the 50th anniversary of one of Central Oregon’s top tourist destinations, Mt. Bachelor, and discusses the mountain’s beginnings a half-century ago.
The article focuses on the vision of founder Bill Healy, who was able to raise $100,000 capital to start the ski resort in 1958. With remarkable foresight, he resisted certain development that would’ve hurt the growth of Bend.
“A visionary from the beginning, Healy realized that the community of Bend would be crucial to the long-term success of the ski resort. For that reason, he continuously resisted forces that wanted to build overnight lodging on the mountain, knowing the economic impact it would have in the community he considered the ‘real base area’ of the mountain,” Peter Wall Thomas writes in his article.
