“Wow, if you are in need of a dentist, Dr. Calvin Kim is awesome!”“We have been to two other dentists in the past year, both of them pediatric dentists, in an effort to have dental work done on our daughter. She was petrified to the point that both dentists insisted that she be put under general anesthetic. Dr. Kim asked me if I could give it a try. I agreed and so thankful. He took the time to put Mary at ease and got through the whole treatment. Mary actually asked when she could back! How is that for a compliment?” - Kristen Zanas

Answers from page 8:Nass River Wolf LegendLong ago, the people of a village on the Nass River had no FOOD. All day long they heard a wolf crying in the woods. One BRAVE man finally went to see why the wolf was crying. He found the wolf in great pain and he offered SOOTHING words and help. The wolf opened his mouth. Inside the kind man found a BONE stuck in the wolf’s throat. He removed it and the wolf ran off.

Later, the man heard the wolf cry again. Once again he went to him. The HAPPY wolf greeted the man with joy and led him to a deer carcass. This happened every day and soon the village had lots of food.

The northwest part of North America is covered with tall, straight trees. Some Native Americans who live there practice the ancient art of carving and painting the cut trees with spirit creatures and animals. These carved trees are called totem poles. The animals carved on a totem pole are believed to link humans to the spirit world. The animals on the poles are often the characters in an important story.

Standards Link: Social Science: Students understand the customs of the American Indians.

Cut out the totem pole carvings along the solid lines and fold along the dotted line to hide the name. Arrange them on the blank totem pole to show the following different totem poles:

• 1/3 animals with beaks and 4/6 animals that swim.

• 2/6 animals with fur and 2/6 animals that swim and 1/3 animals that fly. • 1/2 animals with fur and 1/3 animals that swim and 1/6 animals that fly.

Now use the carvings to make your own totem pole. Make up a story about the animals on your totem pole.

Standards Link: Math / Number Sense: Students understand that fractions refer to part of a whole or part of a group; solve problems involving equivalent fractions.

Carvings

Look at the totem pole on the right.

Three of the six animals on the pole are mammals — or animals with fur.

What fraction describes the part of the totem pole that is carved with mammals?

What fraction describes the number of animals with beaks on the totem pole?

Kids’ Indoor & Outdoor Fitness Strategies

by Merilee Kern

No matter the season, it’s important to ensure kids get up and moving so they stay on track with their physical fitness. Here are some tips with many that offer the opportunity for some good old-fashioned family time.

Exercising need not be reserved

for the outdoors as there is plenty kids can do inside the house to get fit.

Here are a few good ideas:

Walk or run up and down a

stairwell multiple times (skip

a step for added intensity and

effectiveness).

Prefer the great outdoors? No problem! Outdoor fitness ideas abound, including:

Take a walk, jog, or hike. Raining? Walk the mall double time!

Ride a bike, skateboard,

or scooter.

Roller

sk

ate

or

in-lin

e sk

ate.

Catch a pickup game of basketball, baseball, football, tennis and others that get your heart pumping and muscles working.

Swim! Forget doggie paddles; instead, do laps up and down the pool or, for the ambitious types, try butterflies!

Jumping rope is an old standby that

offers an array of health benefits.

• Crunches! Sure, let the kids watch TV but challenge them to do as many sit ups as they can while the commercials are on. Do this for at least one full TV program, which usually has at least 3 or 4 commercial breaks.

• Shadow boxing is a great way to work the arm, leg and core muscles while also getting the heart pumping for some nice calorie-burning cardio. And, it’s fun. Kids will have fun showing you how they can “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.”

• Yoga (yes, for kids, too!) is great for developing body coordination and balance.

• Stretching helps with flexibility, which is another sign of a healthy body.

Dance! Let the kids “boogie” away those calories.

Calisthenics (push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, etc.) are great exercise

and you can hold a friendly competition!

Hula hoop where, beware of surroundings, clearance is key here!

Jump rope — yes, indoors too! Just ensure that the

child has enough clearance from that cherished vase!

SWWF

• Take casual activity to the next level and add excitement. Seek out community events, such as a walk-a-thon, bike-a-thon, or even a triathlon that accepts minors. However, competition should not be the focus. Instead, the focus should be on doing one’s best. These events are often in support of a good cause, so children can also learn the value of fundraising and giving to those that are in need. Let children pick a cause that is important to them and make sure the activity matches their physical abilities. Families can even spend a couple of weekends prior to the event “in training,” getting conditioned and practicing team-building skills.

•• Take advantage of local activity courses. Many area parks and

schools are set up with physical activity courses that span across fields and trails with exercise stations interspersed throughout. These courses are good for all ages and levels of fitness. Consider having your child visit these courses during a Saturday morning event with each session having a different theme or pace. For example, “Boot Camp” might be one such theme for your aspiring soldiers. Children can even walk briskly between stations and then attempt to perform given exercises (push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, balance beams, etc.) with parent’s encouraging them along the way. Children can set goals, such as trying to beat their time from last week, spotting animals along the route, or finding “treasure” along the way. The course can be followed with a healthy family picnic lunch in the park. Doing so will also teach children how to prepare healthy foods.

•• Take some lessons. Find an after school program, YMCA, or • community center that offers lessons or activities that are physical

fitness-oriented. Your options are unlimited and may include tennis, dance, kick boxing, golf, swimming and self-defense. These lessons will help your child become more well-rounded in many areas of fitness and may possibly help them find one that they enjoy and where they might want to take advanced lessons.

•• Enjoy an “extreme” family vacation. Get your children involved in

planning a dynamic family vacation that includes physical activities for everyone, both together as a family and individually. Each family member should be able to plan a physical activity whether it is taking a walking tour of a city, playing volleyball, kayaking, white water raft-ing, snorkeling, skiing or snow boarding, hiking a trail or climbing a summit. Together, your family can take the months prior to the trip to build up the endurance, strength, and skills necessary to enjoy your active plans. The “vacation” can even be a simple day trip in your own neighborhood or something much more extravagant. Children can save allowance money for “cool” fitness gear or earn money to be used toward the purchase of specialty equipment by achieving physical fitness-oriented goals (like getting a yellow belt in Karate or completing a successful season on the swim team). This will not only teach children about preparation, organization, and planning, but it will also motivate and reward them for engaging in activities that are good for their health.

The Water Fence website estimates that a home with

2,000 square feet of roof could collect about 1,200

gallons of water for every inch of rain. In areas of high �re

danger, the Water Fence could be equipped with a pump to spray water back

onto the home’s roof.

For more information

go to waterfence.com

“Fresh clean water is California’s most precious resource and it seems that we never have enough to go around. We are now living in one of the most severe droughts in the state’s recorded history,” says Steven McDowell, a student in Rohnert Park, California.

To solve the problem of water shortages, Steven has invented a “water fence” that stores rain water — lots of rain water. And his invention is getting a lot of attention.

“I’ve had millionaires call up and say they’d like to speak to my son,” said his father, Ken.

The whole thing started as a school science fair project. Steven went to a hardware store to find out how people could store water at their homes. He discovered that a tank that can store10,000 gallons has a 12-foot diameter and stands at least 13 feet tall.

Then Steven came up with his big idea: What if a fence could be made to hold rainwater? He determined that if he built a fence around his yard that was one foot wide and 6 feet tall, it could hold about 13,000 gallons of water.

His water fence system is simple: rain falls on your roof and is guided by your screened gutters to a fill point on the Water Fence System. To use the water, you just connect a hose to the fence via its spigots.

The idea won first place at the school science fair, the county science fair and the Bay Area science fair. Steven also won an American Meteorological Society certificate of outstand-ing achievement and a Stockholm Junior Water Prize, a regional award from a Swedish-based water institute.

But a14-year-old California student saw it as a greatplace to store water!

Science Project

How It Works

To most people,this looks like a fence.

Ask a parent to tell you which device, invented during their lifetime, has been the most useful and why.

SWWF

How long have you been coaching?4 years as an assistant at Rochester, and 8 years as the head coach at Centralia.

What inspires you the most? I am inspired by constantly learning new techniques and training strategies. Wrestling is always evolving. I watch a lot of team USA and Division 1 college wrestling.

What is your favorite part of coaching? There are several things I really like about coaching: First, the relationships I build through this sport are very strong. Kids realize that I am all in, and will do whatever I have to do to help them succeed. Second, seeing kids set goals and work hard for their goals from when they are little kids, and then reach them is very emotional and encouraging for coaches. Of course it can go the other way too and be very heart breaking. Third, we have several kids earning scholarships. This not only gives them an opportunity to continue to compete, but also get an education. Fourth, I have been very lucky to be able to pick all of my coaches. I have picked friends who are also good wrestlers — and even better people. We spend a lot of time together coaching and have a good time doing it.

“My kids love him. He has been part of my kids’ lives for the past six years. He is super nice, a great human being and a great coach.

He deserves praise” ~ Katia Hudson, nominator

Guarding a child’s life and health can be a daunting task, but rarely more so than when

choosing the right person for that job. That is why new parents should start looking for a pediatrician as soon as possible.

The second or third trimester of a pregnancy is a good time to ask friends, family and neighbors about their recommendations for a physician, says Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician who practices in Atlanta, Georgia. Ask obstetricians and nursery staff members about who in the area has a good reputation. Alternatively, parents can look for family practice physicians or even a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant with relevant experience.

1 The first thing parents should check is a doctor’s credentials. “They should be certified by the American Board of Pediatrics,”

says David Hill, a pediatrician from Wilmington, North Carolina “If they aren’t board certified, a lot of us would say it’s a red flag.”

2 A visit to the practice would allow families to meet the person whom they will trust to take care of their child for, possibly, the

next 21 years or so. “Everyone has their own personality, and some people have people they want or don’t want to work with,” Hill says. “See if this is someone you look forward to trusting with your children’s health.”

3 Location is also important. Although the hospital will have someone on staff to take care of your newborn until you leave,

afterward, it might be frustrating to have to drive for a long time for every doctor’s appointment if the hospital is far away.

4 The layout of the practice plays a role also. If an office doesn’t separate ill patients from healthy ones coming in for an

immunization or check up it may endanger the healthy children. The practice would be especially hazardous for children two months old or younger, who have yet to build up their immune systems, Shu says.

5 The pediatrician’s schedule must also accommodate relevant living situations. Parents who work set hours may want to

search for offices with extended evening and weekend openings. “You will want to know how children get seen when there’s an acute illness,” Hill says. “If your child is sick at 4:30 p.m. on a Friday, what do we do about that?”

Most clinics have a nurse or doctor on call for after-hours

emergencies, although some may refer non-emergency concerns to voicemail,

or connect parents with other doctors in the area.

6 A pediatrician’s approach to health matters such as x-rays,

antibiotics and vaccines is important, too. Cross believes that parents should pay special attention to the doctor’s proposed

vaccination schedule. Although the CDC and AAP both recommend

combination vaccines that include three immunizations at a time, some

pediatricians will choose to do two instead, requiring parents to visit every two weeks

instead of every two months. Giving fewer vaccines at a time may also endanger the

child, because it increases the odds that a vaccine will be skipped. “It’s easier to miss something,” Cross says. “We’re seeing an increase in measles and whooping cough. Pediatricians assume that it’s okay if you keep the baby in the house, but you bring other people into your house, and you can’t control where they’ve been.”

Finally, more frequent immunizations are difficult for parents, too. Many working couples have little time to spare to take their children to more doctor’s appointments, and it’s more expensive as well. Cross says once parents hear about why their children need so many vaccinations they usually have no problem following the CDC schedule.

7 The pediatrician alone is not the only person to meet at the office. Qualified staff should be able to answer questions

during and after hours in case of an emergency. And, in the case of a group practice, various pediatricians might end up treating a child. That’s why Cross recommends asking for office policies in advance to find out how the practice might support new parents in case of an emergency. If a pediatrician doesn’t have hospital rights, they will not be able to treat a patient taken to the hospital with a medical emergency. “The pediatricians on the hospital staff are usually very experienced and good, but you don’t want to wait until that serious asthma attack to figure out who will be treating your child,” Cross says.

Pick the Perfect Pediatrician

If an appointment leaves unanswered questions, or the pediatrician doesn’t

address concerns, it may be time to look for a new one, Shu says.

Many new mothers soon find that their child may become sick at night or on the weekends and the pediatrician’s office may be closed. In case you find yourself in this situation, know that there are a couple of after-hours clinics in Centralia.

• Centralia Pediatric After Hours Clinic (360) 330-8526 914 S. Scheuber Rd, Centralia

Hours: 6 p.m. - 9 p.m., seven days a week

• Valley View Centralia Walk-in Clinic (360) 736-3042 1800 Cooks Hill Rd Suite G, Centralia Hours: 12 p.m. - 10 p.m. with the last check- in at 9:30 p.m., seven days a week (excluding holidays.)

Meeting with pediatricians before

giving birth is a good idea to get to know the doctor who

will be caring for your child. Lisa McKay, administrator for Northwest

Pediatrics Center in Centralia says, “A pregnant woman should

interview pediatricians before her baby is born if she is unsure of

which doctor to go to so she can be sure that a doctor is right for her

child.”

Before giving birth, new mothers are searching for a pediatrician. The majority of women ask their friends for recommendations. Jennifer Scalici, DO at Centralia Women’s Center says, “A pregnant woman should ask friends and family members for a recommendation on pediatricians. They should also check practices for after-hours and weekend care.”

Dividing Up the New Testament

1. The first four books of the New Testament are called GOSPELS or Life of Christ. These books reveal the birth, life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2. The second division is a single book, the Book of Acts. It is labeled HISTORY. It reveals nine different cases of conversion to Christ and tells the history of the Lord’s Church from its beginning in Jerusalem to its spread across the world. This book, more than any other answers the question, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? It tells what people in the first century did, by the authority of Christ, to obey God’s will.

3. The third division contains fourteen books called LETTERS OF PAUL. These are actually letters written to churches or private individuals instructing them on the will of the Father, through the teachings of Jesus Christ. The problems the Apostle Paul deals with in these letters are some of the same problems faced by the church and individuals today.

4. The fourth division, seven books is called GENERAL LETTERS. They are named thus to distinguish them from Paul’s letters. They deal with many additional subjects that relate to the Christian.

5. The last division contains only one book, The Revelation. This section is called PROPHECY. It foretells events from the first century until the second coming of Christ.

Twenty-seven books that tell us how to obey God in the twenty-first century, as the early church did in the first century.

This book is about how kids have the choice to do anything they set their mind to. They have the choice to love and believe in themselves and to not let hurtful words others say bring them down. My favor-ite part is the beginning where it says, "Love is the greatest force on Earth." This is a great book to help boost a child's confidence to follow their dreams.

According to Giving USA, 72 percent of all U.S. charitable

giving comes from individuals.

Only 6 percent of charitable

giving in the United States comes from corporations,

and an additional 15 percent comes from foundations.

The origins of Veterans Day can be traced to the ending

of World War I nearly a century ago. Known at the time as "The Great War," World War I officially ended on June 28, 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in France.

The fighting had actually ended seven months earlier when an armistice between the Allies and Germany went into effect on November 11, 1918.

The following November, United States President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11 "Armistice Day" in honor of the cessation of the hostilities, and the day became a federal holiday in 1938.

That act was amended in 1954 after veterans service organizations, in recognition of the efforts of soldiers who fought in World War II, asked that the day be renamed "Veterans Day" so it honored all soldiers and not just those who fought in World War I.

“No one is useless in this world who

lightens the burden of another.”
