Coria Eastland's life is filled with children

1 KATE WOLFORD Staff Writer

As the director of the North Webster Day Care Center and a mother to an active three-year-old, Carla Eastlund’s life is filled with the care and education of young children. A graduate of Indiana University at Fort Wayne, 25-year-old Carla has been a teacher since 1986, and has been director oQ the center for slightly over one year. Carla enjoys her job, and? 1 believes in the day care system because, in her words, “it’s dependable and it’s quality care.” Profile I ■ — The very organized Carla also believes that “there’s a place for everything, and everything in it’s place,” and her busy life needs that kind of order. In addition to working as director of the center, and being a full time mom, she’s working toward a master’s degree in elementary education at Indiana University at Fort Wayne. The North Webster resident says she’s furthering her education because, “You can’t ever learn everything you need to know professionally. I felt I was wasting my time by not using my mind.” Carla is about one third of the way through her master’s program, and goes to Fort Wayne once or twice a week during the spring and fall. She is determined to get her graduate degree, and enjoys attending the classes saying, “It’s a good place to interact with people in your field.” She also appreciates the fact that taking her graduate courses is away to keep up with new trends in her profession. Carla admits that her role as director for the North Webster Day Care Center is demanding. “Full moons (like the

one’s just passed) and rainy days,” she says, can make kids difficult. There are, however, compensations. “I love watching the two-year-olds,” she explains, “because they’re learning so much about the wdrld around them. They’re really neat.” She adds that there is a “positive advantage to each age.“ Another big bonus to Carla’s job is the fact that Kaitlyn attends the center, and is near her mommy all day long. Given Carla’s busy professional life and her devotion to Kaitlyn, it’s not surprising that she has a role model; her own mother, Barb Eastlund. Carla says that she’s seen her mother successfully juggle the demands of her family and career, and hopes to do the same herself. Carla gives her mom, and dad, Gary Eastlund, a lot of credit for the successes in her life. “I wouldn’t be where I am in life,” she says, “without the support from them.” No doubt she’ll continue to get support from them, as she and Kaitlyn live with Carla’s parents. With a schedule as hectic as Carla’s, it’s not surprising that she pursues some hobbies to unwind. Working with ceramics is a favorite past time. “I love to do ceramics,” she says, “It’s an excellent stress outlet. I can climb into my own world and paint my little heart out. No one bothers me.” She also enjoys cooking, especially big, delicious Mexican and Chinese meals. Carla cross-stitches and embroiders, and has gotten a chance to do plenty of needlework recently, due to a broken leg. Her hobbies, which also include playing the piano are very traditional, and Carla admits that she’s “a domestic person.” Despite Carla’s many activities there is number-one priority in her life: Kaitlyn. “I try to take her out at least one evening or day a week,” Carla says, “when she and I go out and do something special for ourselves.” With her work at the North Webster Day Care Center, her focus on Kaitlyn, and her elementary education studies, it seems that Carla Eastlund has found the right direction in her life.

Ron Stoll is Kiwanis speaker

Ron Stoll addressed the Wawasee Club Saturday morning at Gropp’s Restaurant in Syracuse. His subject was Employee Satisfaction and Self Actualization. He told the group that ways should be found to help people raise the level of their self esteem. This is true at all levels. If a job can be structured so nobody will be robbed of his or her self esteem the company and its employees will benefit. Studies have been done with medium sized and small companies which were growing rapidly and successfully to determine what was causing their rapid and successful growth. It was discovered that employees who had positive at-

titudes about their companies and their part in company success. The positive attitudes of the people gave their companies a competitive edge. The people in the fastest growing companies were responding to the challenge of the job. They had a sense of accomplishment, they experienced a company culture that valued initiative and ideas; they are confident that they work for companies that put out quality products; treat their employees with respect and compete effectively in the market place. Stoll further developed the idea that we can’t motivate people, but we can create situations which result in their being motivated.
