Parent group forms to aid in ‘dyslexia journey’

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

No April Fools’ joke: Down Under ‘kaput’ It is not an April Fools’ joke. The Down Under is no more. It’s done for. It’s...history. The old building, which was located at 10100 Lake Drive, was demolished by Nitti Roll-Off & Demolition Services Inc. Thursday, April 4. Demolition started around 7 a.m. and by noon all that was left was a pile of rubble with only one beam left standing. See more photos on page 11.

One in five students has a language-based learning disability. Parents in the Centennial School District hope a recently formed group will create awareness and offer support for parents of students with dyslexia.

Centennial Dyslexia Connection held its fi rst meeting March 21 at Rice Lake Elementary (RLE). Founder Jessica Friedman came up with the idea for the group after she discovered her fi fth-grade son struggles with dyslexia. “We didn’t know until this year that it was a problem,” she said. “Some of his scores were really low on some of the standardized tests and so we asked for an evaluation. Through the evaluation we found out that he struggles with certain parts of language that fit the profi le of dyslexia.”

Friedman thought the group would be a great place for parents to turn and offer support for one another. When I was starting out in looking for people to talk to, it was hard SEE CENTENNIAL DYSLEXIA CONNECTION, PAGE 19

Filling children's lives with magic, 1 wig at a time

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

Since its founding in 2014, The Magic Yarn Project has delivered well over 12,000 wigs to 48 countries.

In January, the first state chapter of the project was founded

by Ham Lake (former Circle Pines) resident Gwyn Yuhanna.

“The biggest thing about having this chapter, is not only are we making wigs here in Minnesota, but we are delivering them here to kids in Minnesota,” Yuhanna explained. She said that before the chapter was created, she had to send all the wigs she made to her region's headquarters in Kansas.

Yuhanna found out about The Magic Yarn Project after stumbling across the website. She used to crochet, and she wanted

to see if she could pick it back up.

After watching videos on YouTube and getting help from her sisterin-law, she succeeded. “I just got crazy with it. By the end of the year I made over 200 wigs.”

The Magic Yarn Project is a nonprofit organization based out of Palmer, Alaska. The organization's mission is to bring magic into the lives of children battling cancer and inspire volunteerism to make a difference. Chemotherapy treatments often leave young scalps too sensitive for traditional wigs, so the project's yarn wigs are comfy, soft and warm.

The wigs are inspired by Disney characters and invite children back to the world of play and daydreaming during scary times.

Yuhanna said the most popular wigs are based on Disney’s Ariel, Elsa and Rapunzel. Other

characters include Belle, Moana, Minions, Jack Sparrow, SpiderMan and Captain Marvel.

To be able to start the first Minnesota chapter, Yuhanna attended a four-day training in Cincinnati and applied to be a chapter leader. The chapter has already hosted two public workshops at the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department in addition to four other private workshops.

“As a chapter leader, my goal is to complete 100 wigs this year.

I also have a fundraising goal to cover the startup costs and the cost of supplies for the beanies and wigs,” Yuhanna said. “The estimated value of each wig is $50.”

FPS teaches critical thinking and problem-solving skills teaching critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

We teach them a prescribed (six-step) process … that helps them approach a problem, look at it and have the tools to analyze it,” said volunteer Coach Peg Tembreull.

“The reason the problem is set in the future is so that the only limitation these kids have is their own creativity, because who knows what is going to be available to them in the future?”

All 41 students in Centennial’s Future Problem Solving (FPS) program earned spots in the state competition, held March 30 at Apollo High School in St. Cloud.

Twenty-four students also qualified to move on to the international competition in Amherst, Massachusetts, in June. “(FPS) is an academic competition focused on

The program is open to students in grades 4-12. Each year the team competes in up to three competitions. All students participate in regionals; those who do well enough advance to state and the top placers move on to the international competition.

Each competition consists of a written and oral portion and focuses on a topic the students have studied. The topic for the state competition was coping with stress.

During the written portion, students (typically in teams of four) have two hours and 15 minutes to analyze a scenario loaded with problems, figure out the underlying problem, brainstorm solutions, find the best solution and come up with an action plan of how they are going to implement that solution.

The oral portion, which has no impact on whether the students advance to the next round of competition, is the “fun part,” the volunteer coach maintains.

“By that time, the stress is usually over, and it is fun,” Tembreull said.

Students come up with a skit that shows their action plan and sell it to the evaluators. Students are also given various props such as garbage bags and tinfoil to use as costumes.

FPS teaches lifelong skills that can be applied to multiple situations.

Tembreull shared a couple examples of how FPS high school students used the processes they learned to figure out what college they would attend or what they would wear to prom.

This is sixth-grader Eli Johnson’s second year participating in FPS. He was motivated to join, he said, because “it seemed like a fun activity and I thought it would help me in general.” FPS has improved his problemsolving skills and taught him how to be a part of a team.

Centennial High School graduating seniors, along with students in grades 4-11, competed at the Future Problem Solving (FPS) state competition March 30. Pictured are: Greta Panait, Coach Peg Tembreull, Spencer Ekstrom, Meghan Smude and Allison Athman. The seniors placed first in the senior division in both the written and oral parts of the competition.

FPS since fourth grade.

She wanted to join after she saw her sister compete in the oral portion of a competition and thought it looked fun. She said FPS has helped her to better resolve conflicts within her group of friends.

Kurdyumov created a “snow plunge” fundraiser to help raise money for the trip to Amherst. “It started off as a joke of me in summer clothes jumping into the snow, and then I nominated Peg (Tembreull) to do the same. Then she came up with the idea of making it a challenge and (said) if we could raise $1,000, she would jump into the snow too,” Kurdyumov explained. Tembreull added the stipulation that if she was able to raise more than the students did, she would make someone jump with her.

That person would be selected by the student who raised the most dollars.

Although the students fell a little short of their $1,000 goal, Tembreull did the challenge anyway because she knew the snow would be gone and didn’t want to miss her opportunity. This year, it will cost each student, coach or chaperone $700, which is up $200 from last year. “Last year’s bill was almost $15,000, not including travel to get there,” Tembreull noted.

To help raise some more funds, FPS will host a couple more fundraisers and has a Gofundme page. It can be found by searching “Centennial FPS snow plunge.”

There will be a rummage sale from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 27, at Rice Lake Elementary School. The sale will also include a silent auction. FPS is also selling $5 raffle tickets through May 17 for a chance to win more than 30 prizes, including Twins suite tickets, Valleyfair passes, Chipotle dinner for four, three Disney World Hopper Passes and more.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council discussed the following at its April 1 work session: • Lynblomsten has requested financial assistance for its proposed senior living campus in the northwest quadrant of the Hodgson Road and County Road J intersection.

“We have been talking about development on that corner for years, as long as I have been here and probably a lot longer prior to that,” said Community Development Director Michael Grochala. “There have always been a lot of impediments to it: lack of utilities, adequate transportation infrastructure, a number of property owners, neighborhood concerns and also timing of development.”

The total project cost is estimated at $77 million. Due to costs associated with the highway improvements, utility improvements and land acquisition, Lyngblomsten is requesting public assistance in the form of tax increment financing (TIF) for $5.3 million. The request is for “pay-as-you-go” financing as reimbursement of eligible costs over 15 years. Baker-Tilly (formerly Springsted), the city’s financial adviser, is in the process of reviewing the application.

Council members said they still wanted more information and were uncomfortable with a 15-year term.

Some suggested 10 years or six years.

Judd Fenlon, of Grand Real Estate Advisors, said, “Believe it or not, developers don't often like to go after TIF. They do come with requirements and with additional expenses on our end from both a construction and operating standpoint. This is not viewed lightly on our end. It is something that we need to pursue to make this project work.”

• Revisions to test well No. 7 located on the old farmhouse property at 509 Birch St. As part of the feasibility study to see if a well could be constructed on site, the council awarded the construction of a test well to Traut Companies in January.

Greg Johnson, of WSB, explained, “During construction of the test well they encountered a real soupy, uncemented material, which is pretty uncommon for a bedrock well.

This condition occurred all the way down to about 189 feet. Finally, they just had to stop.”

With the work that has been done so far, and sealing the well, the city's investment will be about $17,600.

Johnson said the city could consider

constructing a new screened test well in a different location on the 509 Birch St. site. The screened well would be constructed to hold the uncemented portion of the formation open, and thus obtain representative water quality and test pumping results. The cost of the screened test would be $75,000 to $80,000. Mayor Jeff Reinert said, “We are into it. I say we finish the job.” The council directed city staff to proceed in that direction.

• Reinert asked whether council members would be interested in dropping the number of licensed city garbage haulers from four down to three.

“Years ago, we allowed four haulers in the city, and that meant four trucks. Now we have four haulers, and every week we have got 12 trucks because of the extra services that need to be in a separate container,” he explained. “We want to give a choice to residents to be able to pick various haulers and have businesses compete, hopefully with the outcome of having better rates for residents, but it does get to be a lot of trucks. Maybe it is time to go to three, which would still be at nine trucks, and save the wear and tear on our roads.”

Councilwoman Melissa Maher said she would like to see that number brought down to two. Councilman Michael Manthey said he liked the fact that the council was discussing the topic, but at the same time he likes freedom of choice, too.

Councilman Dale Stoesz said he would like to see the city add more specific language to its code on the topic.

• Reinert said the city has had conversations with an entity that is interested in building a $4 million indoor hockey rink on the proposed Recreation Complex land on the southeast quadrant of Birch Street and Centerville Road.

Reinert explained they would need about 5 acres of land to complete the project, and the idea would be that the city would run it and take care of it. “The idea is, we give them the land and they will put it up. They want to use it when they need it, about six months of the year,” Reinert said, adding it could potentially generate some revenue for the city. Reinert added the entity would likely address the council in the future with a formal proposal.

CENTENNIAL SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The Centennial School Board took the following action at its March 25 meeting: • Recognized student athletes for their accomplishments on and off the field. Students included: Madeline Fidler and Max Kolfl at for the Minnesota State High School League Academics, Arts and Athletics (Triple A) Award; Taylor McAulay for the Athena Award and girls basketball State All-Tournament Team and Girls Basketball Coaches Association All-State; John Noll for class AAA All-State wresting; Sara Stapleton, girls basketball State All-Tournament Team; Jill Becken, 5AAAA Coach of the Year; Jamie Sobolik, 5AAAA Assistant Coach of the Year; and All-State dance team members Alayna Ferguson (Jazz), Adyson Bellis (Kick) and Clare Littlefield (Kick).

Also recognized junior Steven Kinney and sophomore Piper McLaren as award recipients in the Scholastic Art competition. McLaren’s painting of koi was a Silver Key Award winner and Kinney received Honorable Mention for his landscape painting of a river.

• Honored former school board member John Burns for his years of service to the district.

Burns served on the board from 2009-2018.

School board Chair Suzy Guthmueller said Burns served on numerous committees, cheered on students from many sidelines and was always a big supporter of fi ne arts. Burns was given a “lifetime sports pass” to attend Cougar games.

• Recognized Activities Director Brian Hegseth, who will retire at the end of the year after 27 years in the position. Hegseth was also recently named the Minnesota Activities Director of the

Year by the Minnesota Interscholastic Activities Administrators Association.

Superintendent Brian Dietz said, “It is so well deserved. It is so gratifying to see all of that hard work be recognized because Brian is the last person in the room who is going to tell you how much he does or how hard he is working.

What he has done to support our athletes, our parents, our coaches and all of us as well is truly amazing. When I am talking to coaches, they talk about the fact that Brian is their rock.

Thank you for all you have done.”

• Approved 2018-2019 calendar changes due to inclement weather. Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Scott Johnson explained this winter Centennial had five days of no school due to inclement weather, four days in January and one in February. The most notable change to the calendar, Johnson noted, is April 22, which was previously designated as a staff development day and will change to a student contact day.

“We will regain one of those instructional days we lost as a result of the weather,” Johnson said. “We are actively working with staff to develop an opportunity for e-learning so that in future years, should we be closed due to weather, students will not lose a learning day.

This is a great opportunity for us to look at what happened this year, learn from it and move forward.”

• Held the fi rst reading of 10 revised policies.

Johnson explained the revisions were made to reflect legislative changes and to align with the Minnesota School Board Association's (MSBA) model policies.

Policy 504, having to do with student dress and appearance, was modified to contain more gender-neutral language. The suggestion was made by school board member Kathryn Timm at a previous meeting. “I appreciate the revised language. It is much more flexible and better reflects a general-neutral position. The previous language was a little heavy on how girls should dress and not so much on how boys should dress,” she said.

• Approved a revised 2019 board meeting schedule. The June board meeting was rescheduled to June 3 (there will also be a work session beforehand.)

The school board next meets at 6:30 p.m.

Monday, April 22, at the District Office.

Three years already?

W

hen I got a nice card in the mail thanking me for my work, it hit me that I have been at Press Publications for three years. The time has sure f lown by.

Before becoming the editor of the Quad Community Press and The Citizen, I worked as a staff reporter and eventually a news editor for a couple of papers in southern Minnesota.

For the past three years I have strived to give the Out and community what it deserves, a local paper that highlights About the amazing things people are accomplishing here and keeps Shannon people in the loop of what is Granholm happening around town.

I have enjoyed getting to know the communities I cover (Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, Lexington, Blaine, Hugo and Centerville) and what is important to them. After three years I can tell you that I still love what I do. I enjoy meeting people and sharing their stories.

Every day boasts something different whether it is a city council, new restaurant, event, school play or recently the new police K-9 Argos.

People always ask me what is the favorite story I have ever written and I can never answer that question. I have had the opportunity to write so many stories that matter. Most likely it involved a dog. But really, my favorite kind of stories are the inspirational ones, the ones that make you feel good after reading them.

It is my hope that the stories I write can serve as a memento and be sent to relatives, placed in a scrapbook or even hung on refrigerators or walls.

Of course, oftentimes there are stories that I really don’t want to write, but the community is counting on me to do so. A recent example is a suicide that happened in the Waters Edge Community in Hugo.

Although we don’t always cover these tragic events, the community was counting on us to find out what happened.

We had numerous people reach out to us by phone, email, social media, mail and even the Nextdoor app who were wondering what happened. We heard from one resident who was out walking her dogs in the area and decided to turn around when she saw officers hiding behind bushes with rif les.

After watching the TV news and looking at some other media outlets, they weren’t able to find any information about what happened in their neighborhood.

One thing that also became apparent was the amount of rumors that can start on social media. When I spoke with the Washington County Sheriff ’s Office I went down the list of things I had read online that happened and virtually none of them were true. That’s why it is so important for editors and reporters to follow up and find out the real story instead of just sharing what can be found on social media.

I have learned a lot in my three years on the job and look forward to continuing to learn and write stories that matter. Thank you for welcoming me to the community. As always, if you ever have any story ideas or photos you would like to share with us, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can reach me at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com or citizennews@presspubs.com.

Histamines trigger the runny nose, itchy eyes, and other symptoms of allergies.

Triggers People with allergies to molds, dust mites and pollen are usually prone to getting asthma attacks from new smells or very strong odors. Because of this, people with allergies should try to avoid dusting in the home or being in extremely dusty areas. Other asthma triggers include infections like the common cold and cigarette smoke.

Treating and preventing asthma attacks Asthma is treated with two types of medicines: long-term control and quick-relief medicines. Long-term control medicines like inhaled corticosteroids help reduce airway inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms. Quick-relief, or “rescue,” medicines like inhaled short-acting beta2-atonists help relieve asthma symptoms that may flare up.

When medicines don’t work Asthma sufferers need to be particularly aware of their condition and whether the medicine prescribed is properly controlling their symptoms. Here are signs that an asthma sufferer may need immediate medical attention.

Early and aggressive asthma treatment is key to relieving symptoms and preventing asthma attacks. If you think you may have asthma or are worried about how well your asthma is controlled, be sure to talk to your doctor or visit us at The Urgency Room.

Dr. Carolyn McClain is medical director of The Urgency Room.

A Quieter Spring

W

hen my husband and I and our baby moved to the northern suburbs nearly nine years ago, we were struck by how loud the birds were in the morning. In fact, it was to the point of being borderline annoying to me. I remember grumpily stumbling over to the window to shut it as the birds too cheerfully sang me out of my slumber. Even though I knew deep down that the biodiversity that ourished in the surrounding wetlands was a blessing, momentary crabby thoughts like, “if it’s not the baby, it’s the birds stealing my precious sleep,â€? would enter my mind. We would often remark how astonishing it was that mornings in the north metro sounded like the eco-resort we visited in Costa Rica.

Admittedly, I am no ornithologist and haven’t conducted decade-long biotic index studies to track the bird populations in my area, but I do notice that the springs seem quieter. I am no longer roused by songbirds. I wonder if what I’m reading in the news is what I’m witnessing in my own yard.

Last year, 15,364 scientists from 184 countries signed “A Second Notice,� which is an open letter to humanity pleading for humans to cut greenhouse gases and reverse the trend of collapsing biodiversity.

They were seeking to raise awareness that a mass species extinction is currently happening. This is the sixth mass extinction in the last 540 million years.

What’s causing the loss of biodiversity isn’t a big mystery. People are causing the loss of We All Need biodiversity through consumption of goods Food & created from natural Water resources and altering Dawn Pape natural habitat for food production. According to a May 2018 study by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 60% of the world’s mammals are livestock, 36% are humans and only 4% are wildlife. That means 96% of the world’s mammals are either people or food for people.

This is a difďŹ cult topic to approach because, of course, I am a person who consumes goods and resources. I also like to eat. Every day. Preferably several times a day. I am clearly as much at fault as every other person. I cannot pretend to be outside of this problem looking in.

People talk about “saving the Earth,â€? but let’s be real. The Earth has made it through the last ďŹ ve mass extinctions just ďŹ ne. It’s not about saving the Earth, it’s about saving ourselves from ourselves.

We are currently sawing off the branch

“The planet is at the start of a sixth mass extinction in its history, with huge losses already reported in larger animals that are easier to study. But insects are by far the most varied and abundant animals, outweighing humanity by 17 times. They are essential for the proper functioning of all ecosystems, the researchers say, as food for other creatures, pollinators and recyclers of nutrients.�

Damian Carrington The Guardian, Environment editor, Sun 10 Feb 2019. we are sitting on. We need to overcome denial, fear, busyness and doing nothing because we are unsure if it will be enough.

Carl Sagan once said, “Today we are facing many challenges. But the craziest thing we can do is to do nothing.�

We got ourselves in this mess, now it’s time to get “all hands on deck� to get us out of it. We need to focus on what unites us and creates community so we can work together. The fact that we all need food is a good start. And since feeding ourselves is causing devastating biodiversity and climate impacts, that makes it another reason for starting with our food systems.

I found the book “Drawdownâ€? and its companion website drawdown.org to be helpful resources. While these resources focus on using existing solutions to draw down greenhouse gases to manageable levels within the next 30 years, the solutions offered would also beneďŹ t

biodiversity. Perhaps the most energizing aspect of this research is that nothing new needs to invented, the solutions just need to be implemented. In fact, 17 of the 100 solutions were food based. Just composting, having plant-rich diets and reducing waste have enormous global implications—and those are things most of us can start doing today. As Wendell Berry said, “Eating is inescapably an agricultural act, and how we eat determines, to a considerable extent, how the world is used.�

Dawn Pape is the founder of a nonproďŹ t called “We All Need Food and Waterâ€? focused on educate about issues challenging our food and water systems and encouraging people to take action with their forks. Pape is also a proud Ramsey County Master Gardener volunteer who loves attempting to grow her own food.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

‘Where will our children live?’ On my first night after I was appointed to the Lino Lakes Planning & Zoning Board, I asked, "Where will our children live?" The topic was lot size. Some members wanted to increase the minimum lot size so that we “wouldn’t look like Woodbury.� Larger lots without changing setbacks result in huge houses on those larger lots.

The Comprehensive Plan is a tool to plan the future of our city. In the city newsletter, our mayor’s comments reflect his belief that there is no need for multifamily, affordable housing or public transportation in Lino Lakes.

It’s 2019, and our city is not as rural as it was in 2000.

By 2040, I doubt that it will be considered rural at all. The Watermark Development will add 871 units alone. Add the possible growth on the sod fields, and the look will change drastically.

After rooftops comes retail and other commerce. We rely on many workers to provide us with our services in restaurants, retail, assisted living and many other services. Why shouldn’t they be able to live in the city in which they work?

With all the future development, there will be a large increase in traffic. Now, I ask, why wouldn’t we want public transportation? As we grow, we must look for ways to become a community for all. Because some people have less doesn’t mean they are lesser people.

I don’t consider this “left-leaning thinking� but common-sense planning. Sixteen-plus years later on the Planning & Zoning Board, I’m still asking my first question.

"Where will our children live?"

SUBMITTED

The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department posted this picture of a crash that happened at 7:58 a.m. April 4 at the intersection of Hodgson Road and Birch Street on its Facebook page reminding motorists to not be distracted drivers. The post says, “There are so many distractions in our lives that it only takes a moment of inattention for a crash like this to occur. A distraction doesn’t always have to be physical, it can just be as simple as a moment of daydreaming or thinking about something else going on in your life. We ask that you do one thing, and one thing only when driving: pay attention.” Thankfully, everyone involved walked away from the crash.

Heroes Walk 4 Women The Anoka County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) is partnering with the Anoka Police Department to host its fi rst-ever Heroes Walk 4 Women event. This is a reimagined walk event from the “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event that ACSO has participated in previously.

MAGIC YARN PROJECT: Creating magic and inspiring volunteerism FROM PAGE 1

already crocheted. “There are different ways to get involved: you can crochet, (hold) fundraisers (yarn/supply drives), put together flowers, cut yarn, decorate envelopes or host a private workshop,” Yuhanna explained.

Lino Lakes resident LouAnn Snell is one of four “Fairy Godmothers” who helped start the chapter. She found out about The Magic Yarn Project after receiving an email from Gofundme, which featured the organization.

After reading more about the project, Snell knew she wanted to get involved but could not crochet. She started assembling flowers and decorating envelopes at her home.

“As I think towards retirement, I have taken art classes and different things, and I thought ‘I really don’t need to make things that are just going to fill up my house,’” she explained. “This is a hobby, but it is doing good. Every time I work on a wig, I picture a child and what joy it is going to bring to them.”

Yuhanna shared a story about a child named Holly who received a wig. “Her mother wrote us a note and sent us a picture of Holly in her wig. ‘(She wrote) No one even notices that she is sick with her Elsa wig on. She enjoys being a kid again.’”

Currently, the chapter partners with Children’s Hospital Minneapolis.

Yuhanna said the hope is to also partner with the University of Minnesota Journey Clinic in the future.

For more information about The Magic Yarn Project, visit https:// themagicyarnproject.com/. To request a private workshop, or become involved with the chapter, contact Yuhanna at gwyn@themagicyarnproject.com.

April Fools?

Nope!

The Down Under, owned by brothers Tim Pawlik and Thomas Pawlik, sat vacant for eight years or so. Tim said the plan is to redevelop the site into a “high-end sports bar.” If all goes as planned, Tim said, construction could start as early as June.

City Administrator Patrick Antonen cautioned that there is a lot more to be done before construction can begin, as the project has not yet been before the Planning Commission.

Cub Scout Pack 432 hosts Pinewood Derby "Scouts and their families from Cub Scout Pack 432 gathered at St. Genevieve’s Parish Community Center Saturday, March 23, for the annual Pinewood Derby race.

The scouts received a Pinewood Derby kit, containing a wooden block, wheels and axles in December. They worked together with both their parents and their Scout leaders to build a car with the design of their choosing.

The Pack even held two evening workshops to assist families who don’t have all the tools on hand or who just want to build the cars in a collaborative working space.

Pack 432’s 40 competing cars included a wide range of car designs that captured the kids’ interests: a sleek pink car with bright pink wheels, a Minecraft Creeper, Hershey’s bar shaped car and a wedge car that looked like an authentic looking wooden door stop. Leaders and family members and (siblings and parents) were also able to enter cars into the Open Class portion of the race.

The leaders from Pack 432 think “the derby teaches the kids many characteristics that Cub Scouts helps to instill in them everyday—learning new things, taking risks and having fun—while still showing that it’s OK to have a competitive spirit while maintaining good sportsmanship."

The top three awards for fastest cars were awarded to Lydia Shepard, Jonathan Dabrowski and Natalie Dabrowski.

New Lion Scout Jack Conley is thrilled to receive a medal for 1st place in his Den.

Gabriel Koenig unleashes a pitch in the seventh inning. inning He got the win in relief.

The Centennial Cougars opened their season with a 3-0 win over River Falls, Wisconsin in 45-degree weather at home Thursday, giving new coach Jake Howells a debut victory.

Meet Your Specialist

Celia Wirth, Computer Support and Repair

I have been providing friendly, patient and educational computer assistance in homes and small businesses since 2003. No need to carry your computer into a store, I come to your home or office.

I can help you in your home. Enjoy your computer more. I’ll tune it up and answer all your questions. I can add the new wireless printer, connect your iPad to the internet, and everything in between. Consider giving a gift of my time to your parents. I can make the computer more fun for them too.

I am a good option for your office. I can add a new computer to your network or POS, and be the person that calls the ISP or offsite tech support when you don’t want to. I am usually quicker and more affordable than your offsite tech support for those small jobs that you don’t want to do. I can even set up a website for you.

Especially for Seniors, I am very patient. I understand that sometimes it’s not easy, even if your kids say it is. I will answer your questions over and over, and I will never make you feel foolish or bad about what you don’t know.

CENTENNIAL DYSLEXIA CONNECTION: A place for parents to turn FROM PAGE 1

to fi nd parents who were willing to talk about these really tough problems with kids,” she said. “I thought it might be helpful for others to have some place to turn to with local resources.”

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability.

The term refers to a cluster of symptoms that result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading. Students with dyslexia often experience difficulties with both oral and written language skills, such as writing and pronouncing words.

According to the International Dyslexia Association, the exact causes of dyslexia are still not completely clear, but anatomical and brain imagery studies have shown differences in the way the brain of a person with dyslexia develops and functions.

Dyslexia is also highly hereditary. If a parent has dyslexia, there is a good chance their child will, too.

The impact dyslexia has on an individual differs for each person and depends on the severity of the condition.

The core difficulty is with word recognition and reading fluency, spelling and writing.

Some individuals with dyslexia manage to learn early reading and spelling tasks, but later experience most debilitating problems when more complex language skills are required, such as grammar, understanding textbook material and writing essays. They may find it difficult to express themselves clearly, or to fully comprehend what others mean when they speak.

Elise Digre, a member of the group, said her third-grade son has struggled since kindergarten, but they didn’t figure out it was likely dyslexia until this year. “One day, I was sitting next to him while he was reading and he was getting so frustrated,” she said. “I wrote ‘I am frustrated with reading’ into Google and it popped up with ‘Is your child dyslexic?’”

Digre read more and more about the learning disability and found out she likely struggles with a mild form of dyslexia herself, as she has trouble reading maps and often transposes numbers.

SUBMITTED

Decoding Dyslexia Minnesota helped encourage the start of the group called Centennial Dyslexia Connection. Supporters of Decoding Dyslexia Minnesota often attend rallies at the Capitol to advocate for legislative changes to help students who struggle with the learning disability.

Group member Kyla Bramwell also has a third-grader who is dyslexic. “Her preschool teachers said ‘Something is not right’; in kindergarten, they said, ‘She will catch up,’ and at the end of first grade she knew something was wrong with her. Those were her exact words,” Bramwell explained.

A key tenet of the group is to be nonadversarial. “Let’s work together, because there
