Motorcycle ride recognizes sacrifices of military
4th of July Parade
BY SHANNON GRANHOLM STAFF WRITER
More than 5,000 bikes are expected to participate in the 50-mile Patriot Ride July 9 to recognize the contributions and sacrifices military members and their families have made for the country. The ride will start out at Key Air facility at the Anoka County Airport and travel throughout the north metro. Part of the route includes Lake Avenue, Lexington Avenue and Lovell Road. “It is an opportunity to raise funds for four different nonprofit organizations that give back to the military and offer fi nancial and emotional support for veterans, military members and their families,” said Patriot Ride Committee Chair Audrey Johnson. The Patriot Ride was organized in 2006 by Dennis Kirk and took place in Rush City. The ride attracted around 100 motorcycles and raised $3,000. This year marks the 11th annual ride, and is expected to raise more than $150,000. Andy Dahl, Circle Pines, son of 5 Eyewitness News chief meteorologist and KSTC45-TV’s Dave Dahl, is participating in the ride for the fi rst time. He said he wanted to participate “to remember the sacrifices of those who have served for us.” “This topic is front and center right now and is a very important one, and here is an opportunity

A day in the life of a police officer BY SHANNON GRANHOLM STAFF WRITER
SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Sgt. Bill Jacobson of the Centennial Lakes Police Department does some research on his laptop in his squad car to identify a woman who reportedly shoplifted merchandise from the Liquor Barrel in Circle Pines Friday, June 24.
Ever wonder what it would be like to be a law enforcement officer? The Quad Community Press set out to find out by doing an evening ride-along June 24 with Sgt. Bill Jacobson of the Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD). Jacobson earned his two-year degree from North Hennepin Community College and went back to get a four-year degree from the University of Minnesota. The CLPD 10-year veteran enjoys the variety of the job and especially likes being in the right place at the right time. “In law enforcement, we have plenty of sad stories, but there are a select few times when the officers have the proper training, the right equipment and are in the right place at the right time, when we can save somebody's life,” he said. Jacobson recalled a scenario in 2011 when he responded to a call along with the Blaine Police Department. A male had had a heart attack and
g ancin w n i F “0% e on Ne bl Availa ipment” Equ
his heart stopped. The officers used an automated external defibrillator (AED). “His heart started right in front of us; it was incredible. Obviously, he needed a lot of extra care after that, but just being in the right place at the right time truly made a difference in his life,” he said. The officer’s normal shift is from 2 p.m. to midnight; our ride is between 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. As soon as he gets to work, he has an hour to check his emails and go through reports. At 3 p.m. he meets with the patrol officers just beginning their shifts as well as those who are done for the day. The group discusses what has happened so far that day and watches a training video. The video is typically a video that has surfaced in the media. “We talk about it ... What if it happens here? How would we have responded differently? What is our policy?” he explained. After that, the group gets their assignments and they're off. Typically, CLPD has one sergeant and SEE LIFE OF AN OFFICER, PAGE 3

Fencing camp held at Rice Lake Elementary
JOLENE FRID | SUBMITTED
Students line up to practice fencing at the cue of Arcadia. BY JOLENE FRID CONTRIBUTING WRITER
LINO LAKE — The gym at Rice Lake Elementary School was filled with noisy clanging metal and exclamations
of excited children as Josias Arcadia instructed a fencing camp for kids during the week of June 27 to July 1. Arcadia, who has fenced for three years, works with the Youth Enrichment League, an organization
that specializes in providing quality day camps for kids in a variety of interests like chess, clothing design, science and sports. Arcadia started the first day of camp by introducing himself and maintaining a no-nonsense attitude. Arcadia described himself to students as “a tough coach, but a fair coach.” As latecomers filed in, he stressed the importance of arriving on time and also encouraged students to bring notebooks. “There’s a lot to learn about fencing,” Arcadia noted. “You can’t possibly learn it all in one week. Bring notebooks tomorrow so you can take notes.” He brought out several weapons from a variety of gear bags during his introduction to show students. They included a saber, a long sword and a foil. He explained the different uses for the swords and explained that they would mainly use the foil in camp instruction. One of the first tips suggested by Arcadia was to be very aware of footwork. “What you do with your feet is much more important than what you do with a sword,” he said to students. After his introduction, he started students with a warmup running around the gym, doing burpees and other exercises.
Arcadia himself keeps a tough schedule with four days of cross training and three days of fencing per week. He has been employed in a range of professions, including as a locksmith, firefighting and working in schools. He is scheduled to teach six or seven fencing camps this year alone and said that fencing is one of the most popular growing sports in the U.S. He stresses how important it is that students bring the instruction beyond class and practice at home. He also recommends to anyone curious about fencing to research the different styles online or in books. Physical activity is important, and Arcadia stresses that importance. “In the age of couch potato kids,” he said, “kids aren’t as strong as they used to be.” He intends to provide tools to remedy this by giving students a skill that can empower them for a lifetime.

to participate in something that I feel folks need to be reminded about — how important it is that we have folks that have served and their families who are willing to make that sacrifice,” the younger Dahl said. He plans to do the ride with many of his friends and family members. During the ride he will keep in mind those he knows who have served, including his grandfather, father-inlaw and other family friends. “This particular gathering is not just for riders, but also for nonriders to show their support,” Dahl said. “I would recommend those who can come and show their support, who are not riding in the [Patriot Ride], grab their lawn chairs and grab a seat on the route, bring their flags, dogs, families and show their support along the route.” All of the proceeds raised from the event will go toward nonprofit organizations, including the Minnesota Patriot Guard, Minnesotans' Military Appreciation Fund, Tribute to the TroopsMinnesota Chapter and Folds of Honor-Minnesota. The Minnesota Patriot Guard's primary mission is to attend funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family, providing honor, dignity and respect to the occasion. The organization also undertakes missions related to military deployments and welcome home events as well as visits to the VA Medical Centers and Minnesota State Veterans Homes. The Minnesotans' Military Appreciation Fund is a statewide initiative by the citizens of Minnesota for Minnesota military personnel and their families. The Tribute to the Troops’ mission is to let the families and friends of fallen heroes know that the sacrifice made by their loved one will never be forgotten. Folds of Honor assists dependents who are adversely affected by deployments by providing annual educational scholarships. It also helps support private education for elementary, middle and high school

LIFE OF AN OFFICER: the challenges of the job FROM PAGE 1
two patrol officers on patrol at a time. The department makes a concerted effort to have one car on the west side (Circle Pines and Lexington) and one car on the east side (Centerville). While the officers are out and about, they try to be proactive and keep an eye out for trouble spots. “Traffic enforcement is important in our city because it affects the quality of life for people,” he said. “We are responsible for anything that could possibly happen in our little part of the world.” On top of general traffic enforcement and responding to calls, the officers also participate in community projects. Jacobson's project is the Mentor Program at Golden Lake Elementary, which he has been involved in for seven years. During the ride-
along that Friday, Sgt. Jacobson pulled over a motorcyclist for going 11 miles per hour over the speed limit in the area of Lake Drive and Lexington Avenue. The driver was given a warning. Jacobson said he would much rather give a verbal warning and discuss what the person did wrong, than write a ticket every time. Later in his shift, Jacobson responded to a theft report at Liquor Barrel in Circle Pines. Upon arrival, Jacobson was provided with a description of a woman in her 30s and her license plate number. He watched a security video of the woman placing a bottle of vodka in her purse. He tracked her license plate to a Blaine address and arrived to find the home vacant. The following day, he posted the surveillance video on Facebook and the woman was identified. One of the main challenges of the job is
its unpredictable nature. Jacobson provided an example: “If a cop says he or she hasn't thought about getting shot, they are probably lying. It is not something you are continuously thinking about every second of every day, but you have to be prepared; you have to have the training and equipment to protect yourself,” he said. Another challenge is the schedule and balancing it with family life. Jacobson works six days on and has four days off. He also has to work numerous weekends and holidays. “I will
have weeks where I will work a Monday through Saturday and I don't see my kids, especially when they are in school. They are at school when I go to work and they are asleep when I get home,” he said. It is also a challenge when the scenario doesn't play out like the officer would like it to. Officers respond to hundreds of calls a year, but one memory that has stuck with Jacobson is when he responded to a report of a jumper, a woman who was threatening to jump off of a bridge over I-35W. “It was really only two

minutes, but it felt like three hours. I was just begging her to climb back over the bridge. The most difficult thing was the traffic noise; I couldn't hear anything she was trying to tell me. So we were yelling back and forth and she was telling me to back up, but I was trying to get in[to] a position to help her,” Jacobson recalled. “She completely disengaged
from me and started looking down at the freeway. I thought, “If I don’t try to grab her and she doesn't jump, she is going to fall. The second I made the decision to try to grab her is when she jumped, and I wasn't able to get her in time.” Scenarios like that can haunt an officer for a long time, but Jacobson said that comes along with the job.

Hives and pollinators
P
ollinator-friendly gardens that attract bees are gaining attention. We all have heard about the problem of bees dying off, so planting a landscape that attracts bees is all the buzz. This spring a friend asked me to accompany him to Rochester were he had reserved two nucleus colonies. What an experience it was to see people driving up and loading these nuc boxes of thousands of bees into their vehicles. My friend had purchased two nucs and the beekeepers helped transfer them to his ten frame hives. It was pretty intense, as the bee keeper said the storm front that through put the bees on Publisher’s came edge. I was intrigued, but since I recently took on chickens, I View didn’t want to push my luck at Carter Johnson home with bees. According to the bee dealers, this winter the upper Midwest region may have had 50% loss, where the hives die off. Other factors causing destruction of hives is Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), where all the bees in the hive disappear, yet the queen is still there. According to the USDA, the problem may stem from pests and parasites, poor health, nutrition and low doses of pesticides. What was interesting to me is how poor health can be a direct reflection of the bee keeper taking too much honey in the fall. Pollinator-friendly gardens can promote healthy bees. I have never much liked bees, but I have learned that bumble bees and honey bees are different, and more docile than the yellow jackets that can ruin a picnic. When you see a honey bee you will know a hive is near as bees tend to travel 2-3 miles. There are many workshops in our area where you can learn how to plant a pollinator-friendly garden. A good place to start is with your local master gardeners group or check out the Stillwater-based Pollinator Friendly Alliance, pollinatorfriendly.org, for information about events including a visit to Marketfest on July 28. Check out the special section on our pollinator-friendly friends. Graffiti Art I was recently sent an image of graffiti on a bridge along the Bruce Vento trail. It said “believe in us.” Jim Muellner, an avid cyclist and supporter of biking, mentioned he would like to meet the young artists who spray painted the bridge to better understand them, and even consider ways to support their art. My comment was that they would think we were just trying to catch them. I remember as kids we did some devious things growing up. All in all I think most of our pranks were a rite of passage and didn’t really hurt anyone. Graffiti or vandalism of any kind is damaging and wrong. Business owners, cities and counties are spending thousands of dollars in repairs. We have been a victim of graffiti in the past and it’s a major hassle and expensive to clean up. However, these kids clearly want to be heard, and it is likely no one is listening. Someone has artistic talent and it’s sad that they don’t get recognition for it in a positive way. It’s a reminder to all of us adults to have friendly and positive interactions with youth. Get to know your fellow neighborhood kids and build social capital with your neighbors to share praise and any concerns. And if those who painted the bridge on the Bruce Vento Trail to St. Paul or others who are looking for a better way to publicly display their artwork happen to read this, give us a call or drop off a note at the Press and we will put you in touch with Jim Muellner.

Parents can help protect teen drivers behind the wheel and manage insurance costs
A

Traffic crashes are the second leading cause of death among Minnesota teens, according to Movers & the Minnesota Department of Shakers Public Safety. “Talk with Minnesota your teen drivers Dept. of about the imCommerce portance of safe driving habits and make sure they understand the risks and responsibilities of driving,” said Rothman. “Adding a teen driver to your policy can be expensive, so it is worth checking your insurance coverage for potential discounts and consider revising deductibles. Shop around for the best policy for your family needs.” The Minnesota Department of Commerce website has facts on the risks of teen driving and
offers the following guidance for families with teen drivers: Setting expectations The additional costs of insuring a teen driver are unavoidable. Working with your teen to respect the privilege of driving is a factor you can control. Lay some ground rules for safe driving before your teen ever gets in the driver’s seat. Set up driving rules, including: • Hours during which the teen can and cannot drive. • Number of friends allowed in the car at one time. • Number of miles the teen is allowed to drive per day or week. You may also want to consider setting up a driving contract with your teen, listing the teen’s duties and responsibilities when driving and caring for the vehicle.

Working wonders with wedges Part II Most mid to high handicappers do not have a lot of confidence when it comes to hitting short wedges around the green. The pitch shot can be intimidating, and what I see most often is players either decelerating on the downswing or stopping at impact and flipping their wrists. If you understand where the bottom of your swing is and how the sand wedge works, with the right set up you can learn to hit this shot with confidence. I would like to point out that I believe a sand wedge is by far the Tee time best choice, a pitching wedge doesn’t have with enough loft or the right bottom on the club for coach this shot. Your chipping Betsy skills will help you when you have plenty of green Larey to work with, but with a tight pin or an obstacle between you and the green you need to have a shot with more loft. As I said in last weeks’ column, I think of the chip shot as nothing more than the hitting area of the full swing. The pitch is very similar, but you’re adding wrist hinge with forearm rotation, which will give you a higher trajectory on the ball. So let’s start with the set up. The stance is similar to the chip shot; the stance is narrow and the feet are neutral. As the distance of your shot gets longer, your stance gets a little wider. Your weight should be on your left side, with the ball positioned inside your left heel. Your shoulders should be level, and the easiest way to do this is to relax your left elbow and pull it into your left side at address. Your spine will be tilting slightly to the left. On this pitch shot, your hands are just slightly ahead of the ball (shaft vertical, not pressing forward like the chip set up). You’re hitting the ground with the bounce on the bottom of the sand wedge and using the loft to get the ball airborne. Like the chip, the right elbow slides back along your side as you pivot back, but you will be adding wrist hinge right away as you slide your arm back. You will need to rotate your forearms during the takeaway in order to set your wrists and hands on the correct plane. And let me be clear on this. The plane is around your body, not “straight back” as
many people play. To hit a low running pitch, you turn the back of your left hand down on the takeaway. The left wrist will be cupped at the end of your backswing and will stay bowed throughout the downswing. At impact, the shaft will be vertical to the ground. To hit a higher pitch, you want to release the clubhead early with no forearm rotation. The shaft will be slightly tilted back a little at impact. The palm of your right hand faces up during the entire downswing. On most simple pitches, you want the hands to finish low with the clubhead finishing up and left. My swing thought is to put the butt of the club in my left pocket. Here’s how this shot differs from other pitch shot methods. Even though your arms are going to get just above your waist, the butt end of the club is not going to travel very far from address. Adding the wrist hinge increases the distance the clubhead travels. The clubhead will be pointing up towards the sky. The downswing starts with the lower body first then the shoulders. The speed of the pivot is what controls the distance. On the downswing, you want to feel the release of your wrists and the clubhead early. The bottom of your swing has already been established by your set up. You will have a slight pivot on the backswing, but it’s important to keep your weight on your left side during the swing. After impact, the elbows fold into the left side (just like the chip) and the clubhead finishes high. The mistake made here is by trying to have too much arm swing. When you start by making a big arm swing with no body turn, you pull the handle of the club more and you lose the feel in your hands. I hope by now you understand that this pitch shot is all about feel. I think this version is a much easier shot to hit consistently, and your misses (if your set up is good and you’re using a sand wedge) are what I call “livable”.

Saints, HOF pitcher throw book at baseball rules
On Wednesday, July 6 when the St. Paul Saints take on the Joplin Blasters at 7:05 p.m., the first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive the first of its kind Unwritten Rule Book. The 2016 Official Baseball Unwritten Rulebook will be similar in size to the “official” rulebook with fewer pages and, by the end of the night; it will be packed with information that addresses baseball situations that have been hotly debated for decades. Wondering about the superstition of discussing a no-hitter? It can be in the book. What about stealing a base when you’re up 10 runs? It can be in the book. What about bunting on a pitcher throwing a no-hitter? All you have to do is flip open the book, grab a pencil and the answer can appear right before your eyes. The most outspoken former major leaguer of these rules, Bruce “Goose” Gossage, will
be at CHS Field that night to sign copies of the rulebook and perhaps give his two cents about Jose Bautista, Bryce Harper and sabermetrics. Gossage, a feared Hall of Fame pitcher, will also throw out the ceremonial first (brush back) pitch and will join Saints play-by-play broadcaster Sean Aronson during that night’s TV/radio broadcast and discuss some of the finer points of the game. Fans attending the game can jot down their own rules in the souvenir Unwritten Rulebook. There are plenty of pages, but fans are encouraged to write them in pencil because of the ever changing nature of the rules. If this season in Major League Baseball is any proof sometimes the rules aren’t visible to the naked eye. Gates for the July 6 game open at 5:30 p.m. and the Unwritten Rulebook will be handed out at that time. Press release

Rosenberg, of Lino Lakes, graduated from CHS in 2012 and recently graduated from the University of WisconsinMadison. He majored in biology and achieved a certificate (minor) in global health. He has now applied to medical school and is not just sitting around and waiting to hear back. In addition to his work at the University of Wisconsin Hospital doing research in the nephrology department, he continues to pursue a sanitation project in Uganda. “I wanted to focus on this project while I have the time to do it,” he said. As a requirement to obtain a certificate in global health, Roseberg had to complete a field study and chose Uganda: Health and Nutrition. In January 2015 he stayed in a community about 30 minutes from the capital city of Kampala for three weeks. “While we were there, we got to see what life was like in this community. I asked the question to one of the community health workers there: ‘What is your biggest issue that you face in the community?’ And she said they don't have adequate sanitation,” he said. From there Rosenberg
teamed up with two of his classmates who also attended the field study, Cori Praska of Rochester and Mackenzie Carlson of Green Bay, for a soap-making project. The group learned how to make soap with the supplies that would be available to the Ugandan people. “Women there don't usually work. It is usually the men who go to work, and so the women are completely financially dependent on the men in the household. Along with improving sanitation, these women can make the soap, sell it, and that gives them a source of income,” Rosenberg explained. “The goal is to be completely sustainable where the women can make soap, sell it and then use that money to buy more supplies and keep selling it. Hopefully at some point we won't have to put any more money into it, but right now they haven't gotten to that point yet.” Rosenberg and his classmates, who are a part of a student organization called Village Health Project, are currently not only trying to acquire more supplies for the process, but also find a space that can be used as a workshop. Right now, the women are using their yards. Village Health Project has been involved in numerous projects, including the installation of a 25,000-liter rain collection tank; an ecological sanitation (ecosan) toilet,
which safely recycles plant nutrients and organic matter for crop production in such a way that the use of nonrenewable resources is minimized; a biodigester, which is fed organic material that is then broken down by bacteria in an oxygen-free environment to produce renewable energy called biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) and other material that can be used as fertilizer. The organization also built a stove at the community's elementary school, which uses the gas produced from the biodigester to cook meals for the children. “I think that these projects in third-world countries can't just always be somebody from the U.S. coming in and doing it all for
them. I think it is very important for these communities to get a little bit of help, but then they have to have the structure and drive to keep them running,” he said. “With this relationship that we have built with community leaders, we think that this is very doable. They are very set on making this a big part of their community. These women are very driven.” Rosenberg added he is passionate about the project because “I think that I am very lucky in the community that I grew up in and the education I got. I feel like I have been taking advantage of it and that I owe it to myself and the rest of the world to try to make a difference. (In Uganda), I saw that there was this little niche where I could make a
difference and it doesn't take millions of dollars of funding to do that.” To contribute to the cause, visit the gofundme page https:// www.gofundme.com/ jt7mccvw. “No donation is too small, everything helps,” he said. Rosenberg is not sure what type of doctor he would like to be and plans to go into medical school with an open mind.
“I've always had this interest in traveling. It combines both of my interests and passions where I can do global health work with the qualifications of being a doctor,” Rosenberg said. “Right now, I can't do much except trying to promote health and sanitation, but hopefully one day I will have the skills of being a doctor and be able to do a little bit more.”

CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL NOTES Circle Pines The Circle Pines City Council took the following action at its June 28 meeting: • Heard from resident Jeanne Artig, who told the council about her concern that many people are not aware the city has leash laws. Last April, there was an incident where she was walking one of her leashed dogs on public property and encountered two dogs that were not leashed. After the incident, her dog had to be put down. She shared numerous incidents where she has witnessed dogs being off-leash within the city. “I don't want to start anything with my neighbors, but it is not just my neighborhood, it is much bigger than that,” she said. Artig explained whenever she takes her dog for a walk she now carries a pack with her that has a cell phone, two ropes (that could be used as leashes), a doggie waste bag to pick up after her dog and a pen and paper to write down information if an incident happens. • The council agreed that more people are out and about during the summer months, and that it would be a good idea to try to inform more
residents about the leash laws. Councilwoman Deb O'Brien said, “I get really scared when I see dogs not on leashes. I have a dog. I think making it clear that a dog needs to be on a leash when it is not, is really good. Now that it is summer, people are out and about and need a reminder. We need some fresh way of communicating it.” • The council discussed adding language about leash laws in the city newsletter, on Facebook and on flyers (to be passed out at National Night Out). The council is also looking into adding signs throughout the city in problem areas. • Mayor Dave Bartholomay said, “Thanks for bringing this to our attention. People think we know about all this stuff, but we really need residents to come forward to tell us.” • Approved the 2017 North Metro Telecommunications 2017 budget. The commission's operating budget is proposed at about $1.22 million, which is an approximate increase of $31,000 over last year's budget. The increase is due to salary and benefit adjustments for several staff positions. The remainder of the operations budget decreased by $6,500
over the previous year. The budgeted capital costs for 2017 are approximately $340,000, with the majority of the amount dedicated to the HD bond payment (about $228,000). The remainder is for field equipment upgrades, office computers, software and software licenses, and building signage. Franchise fees paid back to the member cities are budgeted at $345,000, which is $25,000 more than last year's franchise fee payment. • Authorized the city's participation in the state performance measures. The performance measurement program is a standard set of 10 performance measures for counties and cities that aids residents, taxpayers and state and local elected officials to determine the efficiency of the services a county or city provides, and measures residents’ opinions of those services. A county or city that elects to participate in the program is eligible for a reimbursement of $.14 per capita, not to exceed $25,000. It is also exempt from levy limits for taxes payable in the following capital year, if levy limits are in effect. Circle Pines will get around $700 for participating in the program. • Approved the fi rst pay voucher for a
little more than $269,000 to LaTour Construction Inc. for the 2016 street and utility improvement project. The next City Council meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 12.

Reading/Math Corps in need of tutors
SUBMITTED
Reading Corps member Julie Dalton recently received the President’s Volunteer Service Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes individuals who have accumulated 4,000 or more hours of community service. Along with the honor of presidential recognition, Dalton received a personalized certificate, official pin, medallion or coin and a congratulatory letter from President Barack Obama. BY SHANNON GRANHOM STAFF WRITER
CIRCLE PINES — AmeriCorps Reading and Math Corps programs are in need of 13 tutors for the 2016-17 school year in the Centennial School District. Both programs are in place at Golden Lake, Centennial, Rice Lake and Centerville elementary schools. Blue Heron Elementary has the Reading Corps program only. In Minnesota, one-third of third-graders can't read at grade level and nearly 40 percent of eighth-graders struggle to perform basic math. Both programs will place over 1,400 tutors in schools across the state to try to improve those statistics. The Reading Corps was started in 2003 as a pre-K program; in 2005 it expanded to include a K- through thirdgrade program, which is now the largest program with the most tutors. “The goal is that all children will have the opportunity to be proficient readers by the end of third grade,” said Program Manager Sarah Weber. “We know that third grade is kind of that turning point in education where the curriculum in most school
districts goes from learning to read to reading to learn. Our goal is to help students get to that proficiency level so that they can be successful in the classroom throughout their education.” Weber added that the program serves around 30,000 kids a year. The Math Corps program was started in 2008 and reaches around 5,000 kids each year. The program works with students in grades four through eight. “The goal is that all students will be algebra-ready by the end of eighth grade,” she said. In order to be a tutor, you must be 18 years or older, have a high school diploma or GED equivalent, be a U.S. citizen or be a lawfully admitted permanent resident and be able to serve five days a week and meet the minimum hour requirements. Tutors commit for 11 months (August-June); full-time tutors must complete 920 hours each year, and part-time tutors must complete 720 hours. Tutors attend training in August and may serve a total of four years. Weber explained that the program works with students who are not necessarily eligible for services from the state or federal levels, but still
need additional assistance. Julie Dalton of Coon Rapids just completed her fourth and final year as a Reading Corps tutor. She served as a full-time tutor at Centerville Elementary for one year and the remainder of her years as a part-time tutor at Golden Lake Elementary. “I so enjoyed it. I would serve for 10 years if I could,” she said. Dalton worked for the city of Minneapolis for 32 years before retiring. “After two years of being retired, I felt like I still wanted to do something, and I wanted to do something that was close to my heart,” she said. She added that she had teachers throughout her junior high and high school years that made an influence on her life, and one who inspired her to pursue a career in information technology (IT). Being a tutor allowed her to “pay it forward.” Above all, Dalton said, she enjoyed building relationships with the students and staff. “Each student has a different [reason] as to why they are struggling with their reading. For some students, they need a confidence boost; for some students, they need someone to trust and someone who is going to be consistent,” she
explained. Dalton recently received the President's Volunteer Service Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes, celebrates and holds up as role models Americans who make a positive impact as engaged and deeply committed volunteers. The Lifetime award recognized individuals who have completed 4,000 or more hours of community service in their lifetime. Dalton strongly recommends getting involved with AmeriCorps programs “if you want to serve in your community and be able to
touch a student [so] they are going to always remember you and they are going to excel,” Dalton said. “You are actually changing these students’ lives.” In return for service, tutors can receive an education award to help pay for their own college education, a living allowance/stipend, the opportunity to build professional skills and network, and health care and/ or child care assistance.

“INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE”
(PG-13) (3) [SEQUENCES OF SCI-FI ACTION AND DESTRUCTION, AND SOME LANGUAGE.]

Fox, Joey King, Bill Pullman, Sela Ward, Judd Hirsch, Patrick St. Esprit and Nicolas Wright), 3-D, two-hour, sci-fi remake of the 1996 hit dominated by phenomenal special effects, brave fighter pilots (Liam Hemsworth, Jessie T. Usher, Angelababy, Maika Monroe, Travis Tope, et al.) and scientists (Jeff Goldblum, John Storey, Brent Spiner and Charlotte Gainsbourg) join forces to take down the formidable enemy.
“THE SHALLOWS”
(PG-13) (3)
