Lino Lakes Ambassadors renovate parade float By: Emma Theis Staff Reporter The Lino Lakes Ambassadors parade float recently got a makeover. The 11-yearold float, built on a flat-bed trailer, was outdated, falling apart, and even rotting in some places. Co-funded by the city of Lino Lakes and TC Gateway and led by Ambassador Program coordinators Ray and Barb Culp, the float was stripped

down to the trailer and completely rebuilt. Long gone are the stapled-on letters and cut-out wooden greenery. The renovated float boasts new foam letters, realistic-looking plants, crisp waves and fringe. The float represents Lino Lakes in approximately 15-20 parades a year. A new fitted tarp was also purchased for travel and the city agreed to find indoor storage for the float to prevent future damage from the elements.

Centennial students tackle teen stress By: Emma Theis Staff Reporter Stress. Whether it’s work-related, school-related, or has to do with relationships, health or finances, stress is an ever-present reality in everyone’s life. But, American teenagers are now the most stressed-out age group in the U.S., according to the American Psychological Association’s 2013 Stress in America survey. Four Centennial High School students have decided to make try and make a difference in the way they and their fellow classmates deal with stress. Bailey Arman, Kelly Couillard, Solveig Stensland and Nina Vang partnered with the Allina Change to Chill program to bring awareness to teen stress and help Centennial students find ways to cope with their stress. The four sophomores are a team of Future Problem Solvers at the high school and have been working since last September on their project called Stress is a Mess. The team took their project to several competitions and won first place at the State Future Problem Solving Competition in March. The Future Problem Solving program is available to students as young as fourth grade and teaches them a process to approaching problems. The students then take what they’ve learned and apply it to real-life situations and create projects for competitions. As part of their project, the Problem Solvers developed and administered a survey at Centennial High to gather information on teen stress from the student body; 1,171 survey responses were received. Forty percent of students reported they found school and homework to be the most stressful, compared to pressure in sports and extra-curricular activi-

The team then implemented a yoga class held during the advisory hour at school, hung posters in the hallways reminding students to “chill,” published weekly stress reduction tips on the school TV monitors, and convened a peer counseling group for students. “Our goal is to create awareness, give students relaxation tips and let them know of the resources available when they are feeling overwhelmed and stressed,” said Centennial’s Future Problem Solving coach Peg Tembreull. Centennial High administration has taken feedback from the Future Problem Solving team and others as they currently review and update the vision, mission and beliefs of the school, which were last updated in 2009. “Absolutely, stress is an issue.” said Centennial High School Principal Tom Breuning. “We want to

provide an environment where kids can succeed intellectually, emotionally and socially. In essence, we can’t lower the expectations to succeed, but we can build in things that will reduce the stress for kids.” Breuning said that social media has been a big stress-causer for students in the last five years. In addition to public service announcements about social media, bullying and other issues affecting students, Breuning said Centennial High offers several programs throughout the year that help match students with mentors and peers leaders, assist them in integrating into high school life, and provide awareness and instruction for self-awareness, safety and survival in a variety of situations. “If kids aren’t feeling safe and secure socially and emotionally, they are going to struggle in the classroom,” said Breuning.

The Centennial High Future Problem Solvers finished out the school year by competing in the International Future Problem Solving Competition on June 11 at Iowa State University in Ames. Next fall, when school starts again, Tembreull said the team hopes to continue implementing their project at the high school and furthering their efforts in creating awareness and starting the conversation about teen stress. The group plans on meeting with teachers to discuss some of the stressors students experience and working with peer leaders to train more students in stress relief procedures. They also would like to schedule monthly meetings with the school principal to talk about the issues and act as a liaison between students and school administration.

Opinion Take it from the pros IT’S GRADUATION ABOUT THE TIME, with a lot of TOWN speeches, graduation parties and family celebrations. Rather than share my advice to graduates as I have in past years, I thought I would ask superintendents of schools and presidents of colGENE JOHNSON leges and universities to give their advice. Here’s what they had to say. DR. LINDA HANSON, president of Hamline University, told the graduates: “Today, you are on a pathway — and it’s what we’ve come to call “pathways to distinction” in our strategic vision for Hamline University. And while that vision is large and enduring, it is also very personal when coupled with the sentiment of what happens when one way opens and another way closes… Today, you will have doors that open for you and doors that you choose to open. Use every experience, every skill, and every connection you have built through your years at Hamline to ﬁnd YOUR pathway to distinction. Many say that people don’t remember what anyone says at commencement ceremonies years after they graduate. That may be true and is perfectly understandable. But I challenge you to put into your memory bank this evening the image of a door ahead of you that you choose to open and as you leave behind your years as a student, you see how the world opens up to you in ways you may never have imagined.” LINDA MADSEN, superintendent of Forest Lake Schools, provided these comments: “High school graduation is certainly an ending to 13 years of formal education, but even more importantly it is a beginning. There are a myriad of next steps possible for graduates—trade school, college programs and military service. Each holds unique opportunities and challenges and a path to the future. Look forward with optimism, curiosity and passion. Best wishes.” SUPERINTENDENT BRIAN DIETZ of Centennial Schools offered these words to the graduating seniors: “1. Have passion for anything you do. That desire to perform and succeed will push you to higher levels. 2. Be willing to accept feedback and learn from what doesn’t work. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It only makes you better. 3. Be irreplaceable. Those who work hard and deliver are the ones that are rewarded for their efforts. 4. Find a mentor. They can coach, teach, and guide you to be successful.” RON ANDERSON, president of Century College, encouraged graduates with these words: “I have great faith that your time with us has prepared you well for the next phase of your life — whether that be to continue your education, enter the workforce, or move forward in your current career with new skills and knowledge. Regardless of where your next steps lead, I hope that you carry with you the commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion that is so core to the Century College community. Like Century, your work and home communities will become increasingly diverse, composed of individuals with widely varied backgrounds, experiences and gifts. Each of you has the power, and indeed the responsibility, to create an environment within those communities that is welcoming and accepting of differences, and in which every person’s contribution and perspective is heard and valued. While we do not all share the same beliefs, experiences and perspectives, we must honor, respect and seek to understand them and one another. I challenge you not to seek homogeneity, but rather to seek diversity; to foster deeper understanding, to build new bonds, and to continually strengthen your ability to work across cultures and faiths. As graduates of Century College, you carry with you the knowledge and skills needed to create change and to build stronger communities where all people are valued and can thrive. With your strength, determination, commitment and passion, all things are possible. You have developed the tools, and it is now up to you to put them to use.” Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Vacation is an attitude, not a destination Summer is here – the warm weather we longed for in February has finally arrived and the kids are out of school. Expectations are running high – it’s time for the perfect summer vacation, right? Wrong. While we want a vacation to be a perfect escape from our daily lives - we still bring our own baggage with us wherever we go. And that baggage can thwart even the bestplanned getaway. For example, if your spouse’s driving makes you crazy cruising through your neighborhood, a 10 hour drive to your dream destination isn’t going to make things better. And kids who fight with each other during a quick trip to the grocery store are likely to get into some epic battles on a plane, at the train station or by the side of the road as you fix a flat tire. Life happens, even on vacation, and oversized expectations that “this time it will be different, this time it will be perfect” only add to disappointment in the long run. Rachel Cain, director of

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

JERRY HROMATKA outpatient mental health at Northeast Youth & Family Services, suggests that successful vacations are more of an attitude than a destination. Our mental state has more impact on our enjoyment of any activity — whether it is zooming down a waterslide on a sunny afternoon at Wisconsin Dells or cleaning the house on a Saturday morning. Just like in real life, there will always be parts of the vacation experience that are out of our control, Cain says. Luggage gets damaged, reservations are lost — accepting and addressing problems while looking for and embracing what works is key to enjoying a getaway, and life in

general. Cain suggests that before departing for a vacation we should make a concerted effort to ditch our mental baggage ﬁrst. Let go of expectations, perfectionism, and the need to experience as much as possible in a short amount of time. Vacations should be a getaway, not a forced march. Cain adds that vacations are a great time to try something new mentally as well as physically. The (temporary) suspension of normal life makes us open to new ways of seeing the world, our families and ourselves. If you tend to overplan everything, schedule a day by the pool and see what it feels like to do nothing and like it. If you are afraid of heights, maybe a hike to the top of a hill to view breathtaking scenery will help you learn how to take healthy risks. Whatever you and your loved ones decide to do, Cain has a few tips to help ensure that your vacation is a good one: Expect some level of stress and chaos, especially if traveling with kids. Plan for it. Bring along an

emotional first aid kit of fun activities and yummy snacks. Don’t overplan. Unstructured time is a precious commodity for couples and families. If nothing else plan for one day where you will decide what to do once you arrive at your destination. Don’t overpay. Stress over money will suck all the fun out of your vacation, and make you feel like you need another one when the bills arrive. Be clear on what you’re looking for mentally and physically – relaxation, adventure or a mix of both. Whatever you are doing, remember to be present in the moment, emotionally, mentally and physically. Unplug from your normal life. That’s how lasting memories are made and family bonds are created and strengthened – even if it is fixing a flat tire by the side of the road instead of racing down the waterslide. Wishing you a safe and memorable summer! Jerry Hromatka is president and CEO, Northeast Youth & Family Services

Be aware of elder abuse More than likely, June 15th came and went on your calendar with little fanfare. Since 2006 though, June 15th has been designated World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD); a relatively under-the-radar day of awareness that usually goes by unnoticed, amidst the excitement of the coming summer. WEAAD seeks to bring awareness to aging, to our older generations, and the potential troubles they face. Aging is as inevitable as the sunrise. Growing older can be a time of profound enjoyment and reflection, looking back on the years and how they were spent. But there are dangers in those autumn years that go unspoken and largely unreported. Elder abuse, or abuse in later life, is a significant problem that will only grow more pronounced in the coming years. Neglect, maltreatment, financial exploitation, physical and emotional abuse pose mounting risks to older adults as their faculties fade and they become increasingly vulnerable and in need of care. Almost 50% of dementia patients have suffered some kind of abuse. Tragically, often it is the caretakers, family members, confidants that are responsible. Abuse in later life is not an isolated phenomenon. There are potentially five million victims each year nationwide. Presently 1 in 10 adults over 60 have been victimized, with incalcu-

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

BRIAN STEPHENSON lable psychological impact and nearly $3 billion in stolen assets. And with 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 everyday, these crimes will only become more prevalent. Looking forward, each and every community can (and needs to) take action. Community action does not need to be an act of Congress or a march on the Capitol. Action can be a little extra notice, a little extra care with the older adults in your life. If something seems out of place (unexplained bruises, lack of interest in previous passions, discomfort with everyday topics, unusual deference to a third party), ask questions to gain a better understanding. Questions like: - Is someone taking or using your money without your permission? - Are you afraid of anyone? - Is anybody hurting you? Inquiries like these can yield unexpected but critical responses if an older adult needs help. Alexandra House, with a handful of other agencies,

received a federal grant to develop community responses to abuse in later life. A collaborative task force from across Anoka County are building a system of accountability. Providing training for ﬁrst responders, law enforcement, legal professionals, and social workers to ensure we recognize the signs of abuse and know what questions to ask. A coordinated community response allowing best practices and awareness to be shared across agencies and sectors. Abuse in later life is happening around us. But with vigilance and focus, we can work to make our communities a safe and vibrant place, free of violence and abuse. Alexandra House is a non-proﬁt, communitybased organization. Our mission is to empower victims of domestic and sexual violence, and inspire social change, through education, support and advocacy. We provide 24-hour emergency shelter, support services, and community advocacy to victims of domestic and sexual violence. Go to www.alexandra house.org to learn more about abuse in later life, how you can help a friend, or how you can seek safety and peace of mind for yourself.
