MARYSVILLE – Things that happen outside a classroom can affect a child’s learning more than those inside. To bridge that gap, support coaches for Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program work with low-income families to help them become positively engaged in their child’s learning. It’s a model that could help education, and society, if it could be expanded to include higher grade levels. Sue Lowman and Chelsea Holiman have been ECEAP family support coaches for years at Shoultes Elementary in Marysville. SEE ECEAP, PAGE 11

IN OCTOBER
MARYSVILLE – Jeanna Petzoldt was helping her kids’ school get ready for a Halloween party when she got the call. “That’s how unconcerned I was,” she said, adding she was happy and having a good time. “Where are you?” her doctor asked. “At school,” she responded. “Do you want me to call later?” her doctor wondered.

She has a family history of breast cancer; her grandmother had it twice. She started testing for it at age 36. Her doctor had to battle the insurance company to get it to pay at such a young age. She often did self exams and “was pretty religious about mammograms on top
of that.” In mid-September of 2012 she participated in her first Susan B. Koman three-day walk in honor of her grandma, who died of another form of cancer. Just before Halloween of 2012, Petzoldt “felt something.” She wasn’t concerned about it, but then her doctor “felt what I felt.” A biopsy was taken, she still wasn’t worried as she had four biopsies previously. “But then you get the dreaded cancer call,” she said. “It doesn’t cause you any pain.

because then you would know.” Petzoldt, whose boys were 10 and 8 at the time, said she felt she had to be strong for the kids. “I sucked it up and was strong for everybody else,” she said. “The worst was the waiting. Every test you wait for.” Petzoldt said because she found the cancer early she had many treatment options. She was so happy when she found out she didn’t have to go through SEE CANCER, PAGE 2
