When Camas native Terry Click decided to dip his toe into the immerging industry of designing and building standup paddleboards, he was delighted that his work became a thriving business called Sweetwood Paddleboards. According to Click, standup paddleboarding is one of the fastest growing water sports today. Part of its appeal, Click said, is that people of all ages, athletic abilities and interest in the outdoors and waterways can participate. "They are versatile," he said. "You can surf, paddle, fish or even just take a nap on your board."

So many of us send our kids and loved ones off to the movie theater and assume they are safe. After all, this is one of America's favorite pastimes that is cherished by young and old alike. My teenage boys attended a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises." They went with my blessing. Little did I know that at the same time their movie trailers were starting, a horrific tragedy had just unfolded in Aurora, Colo. This incident made me sick to my stomach because of so many reasons. As a parent, it is unbearable to imagine what the families of the victims are going through right now. The senseless and violent deaths of 12 people including children at a movie that was developed from a comic book hero, is unfathomable.
