Big Foot traverses new roundabout
Minnesota replaces No Child Left Behind with North Star program
TOM LEMKE | SUBMITTED
An apparent Sasquatch/Big Foot cut out was sighted in the new roundabout at County Road I and I-35W Sept. 10. When the Press looked for the Big Foot Sept. 11, it had disappeared. Resident Tom Lemke, who spotted the Big Foot, said it appeared there one night and community members do not know who put it there.
The Minnesota Department of Education recently recognized 526 public schools across the state as top performers in multiple areas of progress in school performance. Among them were Chippewa Middle School, Island Lake Elementary and Turtle Lake Elementary in various categories. The state is now measuring a school’s progress based on how well students from minority groups perform. Mounds View Public Schools had several high progress marks for Asian and multiracial students. The recognition is a key part of the state’s new North Star accountability system that aims to create more equitable and well-rounded learning opportunities for all students across the state. Using data from the five key indicators that make up North Star— achievement and progress on state reading and math tests over time, progress toward English language proficiency, graduation rates and consistent attendance — the state is better able to identify and learn from schools that consistently perform at high SEE NORTH STAR, PAGE 11
Wig care revives self-confidence BY JANICE COLLOVA PRESS INTERN
Janine Panek of Lino Lakes was not satisfied with the free wig she received from the hospital during her chemo treatment. She even had the wig custom cut twice. Even then, she was not entirely satisfied. “I kept trying (the wig) on thinking, ‘I don’t like it, I don’t like it,’” she recalled. Eventually, Panek learned about Jerene Bailey, the wig specialist at Salon 61 in White Bear Lake. She made an appointment for a free wig consultation. “You’re really kinda scared when you go in there,” she said about entering the studio. “You don’t know what it’s going to be like to wear a wig.” But after her consultation, Panek was fi nally fully satisfied with her wig experience. Panek said that she learned a lot from Bailey about wig care, such as how a wig should properly fit and be cared for. For instance, she realized for the first time that the
wig she had received from the hospital was too big for her. More importantly, after seeing Bailey, Panek also regained a lot of self-confidence. Panek recalled that when she first started chemo treatment for her breast cancer, she didn’t want to talk to anybody. She believed that when people looked at her, all they would see was her hair loss and illness. “It’s easier when people don’t know (you’re sick), otherwise your whole life turns into breast cancer,” she said. When she started wearing the wig she had purchased from Bailey, however, she no longer felt de- fined by her illness. “When you wear a wig, you think everyone knows,” she said. But while wearing Bailey’s wig, she said “very few people knew I was sick.” SEE WIGS, PAGE 13
