Dysgraphia is as you say more than bad handwriting, but there are many things you can do to help. Pencil grips are brilliant because you cannot fail to hold the pen in the correct way. There is also a pen call 'PenAgain ErgoSof Pen', which is brilliant and children (and adults) like it. Looks totally different than a pen - feels nice to handle and you are holding it correctly. There are other things that can help. I will be happy to add any more, if anyone is interested.
Dysgraphia: More Than Just Bad Handwriting
Dysgraphia is a learning disability that affects writing.
Writing is not an easy skill. Not only does it require the ability to organize and express ideas in the mind. It also requires the ability to get the muscles in the hands and fingers to form those ideas, letter by letter, on paper.
Experts say teachers and parents should suspect dysgraphia if a child's handwriting is unusually difficult to read. Letters might be sized or spaced incorrectly. Capital letters might be in the wrong places. The child's hand, body or paper might be in a strange position. These can all be signs of dysgraphia. Spelling problems can also be related to the disorder.
Many people have poor handwriting, but dysgraphia is more serious. Dsygraphia is a neurological disorder that generally appears when children are first learning to write. Writing by hand can be physically painful for people who have it. There are different kinds of dysgraphia. And it can appear with other learning disabilities, especially involving language.
Experts are not sure what causes it. But they say early treatment can help prevent or reduce many problems. For example, special exercises can increase strength in the hands and improve muscle memory. This is training muscles to remember the shapes of letters and numbers.
Children can try a writing aid like a thick pencil to see if that helps. Schools can also provide simple interventions like more time to complete writing activities or assistance from a note taker. Teachers could have students with dysgraphia take tests by speaking the answers into a recorder, or type their work instead of writing it.
Children with dysgraphia might be able to avoid the problems of handwriting by using a computer. Yet experts say they could still gain from special instruction to help them organize their thoughts and put them into writing. Such skills become more important as children get older and schoolwork becomes more difficult.
Dysgrafia? Oh, good grief. Does every peccadillo have to be turned into a syndrome?I guesss if there's federal aid money to be had for every last little imperfection, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.It's a shame that we live in a world where every fourth kid has to be turned into a Ritalin induced zombie. One wonder how we got along for the last 50,000 years without it.
When you don'd have a child with the problem, you may say that. You need to have a child with dysgraphia, that the teachers under mark his exams and contribute to his lack of confidence etc. to realise it can be a BIG problem! And by the way, my son do not take any kind of that medications you listed, you mixing it up with other conditions.
If it is indeed true that ignorance is bliss then the previous post (John; May 4,2010) is and will remain ever blissful
Ah, but John, we didn't used to write 50,000 years ago!
Coming from an Occupational Therapist who works with children every day, this is a diagnosis that fits several children who have no other explanation for their difficulties. I appreciate the research that has gone into categorizing this disability, and the recommendations that are generated as a result. This information really helps these kids get the services and support they need to succeed. We are MUCH better off then we were even 100 years ago.
i have disgraphia and belive me its no joke. im a senior in highschool and i write as good as a fifth grader, i dont even know how to do essay structure because it effects my cognative understanding of writing formats. so if you think its just another "syndrome" you my friend are mistaken it mentally drains you so much you have no idea.
This is the first time posting ever. I was so shocked by John's post on May 4, 2010 that I cringed at such ignorance. A series of questions ran through my mind? Yhe first was is he working with students? The second question he raised why was he on this site? As a parent of a child with ADD, Dsylexia and Dysgraphia, I would hate to have him trying to teach my child. The problem is many people dont understand the extent of learning disabilities and have lumped them all together. Ritalin has a place in the regime to help a variety of children though everyone is not helped by ritalin. I want to commend Jonathan for advocating for himself and his cause. It will be even more important as he moves into the world of work. Based on the severity of my son's disability, I began to pursue teaching because too many individuals don't have a clue regarding the extent of the problems students with learning disabilities encounter. I'm clear many ld students can be helped as long as people like John are educated,too.
I am an occupational therapist as well. While I do agree that more research into dysgraphia is good and more is still needed, I do find that there are times when the diagnosis is just thrown on as a label for the student without really looking into whether it is a learning disability or whether it is under-developed fine motor, visual motor, visual perceptual skills and lack of proper instruction on handwriting formation which I find more and more often in schools as teaching is moving away from thebasics to make room for teachign to standardized tests. I also commend Jonathan for standing up for himself and others with similar dificulties to an ignorant person like John.
Thank you for the recommendations. I have a student who has Dysgraphia. I was clueless about what this even meant until I read this article and the comments of Jonathon. Thank you for the insight. My perspective has changed about my student.
I have a son that has greatly improved by learning how to play an instrument. I took him out of his dysgraphia classes in the 6th grade and gave him a clarinet. He went from F's to making A's and B's. He has even earned a scholarship for college without the use of a computer. His writing is now legible. Musical instruments are great for retraining the brain through eye hand cordination. Begin learning an instrument as soon as you can. You will see and feel the difference. Also, don't let anyone talk you out of it. There have been many studies on how playing an instrument can improve any form of dyslexia. I should know as dyslexia runs throughout our family and everyone here plays an instrument.
Thank you for this website/article that I just found. I was unaware of this condition until just this week and my son is now going to be a 4th grader. He has always struggled with writing (handwriting and writing assignments). In 2nd grade his teacher said when it came time to write a small story he put his head down and sobbed. I kept working with him, signing him up for classes and working with him at home (workbooks for writing skills) but with minimal progress. Honestly, I don't know how to have him diagnosed but to start with his pediatrician. But, I feel there is more hope for getting him the help he needs so he is not constantly struggling in this area.
I too am a teacher who has experienced a child with these continual struggles, I was very glad to find this article so that maybe I can help this one child not feel so frustrated with his writing.
My son has always had poor handwriting and spelling. He loves to read, but hates to write. He is 10 yrs. old and in the 5th grade. I homeschool him, and have wondered for a long time if this could be more than laziness. I have only recently heard of Dysgraphia, and am curious if he may fit into this catagory. He loves reading and playing legos, but still has trouble tying his shoes. His main trouble is with spelling and writing. Everything else is fine.
To the gentleman, John, who made the comment - "I guess if there's federal aid money to be had for every last little imperfection, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy." You have no clue as to what you are talking about. I am the parent of a child that has ADHD and Dysgraphia and it is much more than "a self-fulfilling prophecy." I love my children more than anything in this world and I would not use them to get money from the government for an illness or disorder. My son is a wonderful kid but he has had difficulty in school since he first started pre-school. Actually he was always the type of child that was on the go constantly but what kids isn't - Right? At least that is what I thought until he was misbehaving in class every day, not sitting still, not doing what he was told, wouldn't draw, color, write and participate like other children. He loved his classmates and teachers but he would kick and scream everyday when it was time to go to school. He would cry and refused to get out of the car, all at the age of 4 and 5. I tried everything. We attended school meetings, spoke with his pediatrician, and went to a couple of counselors, etc. nothing helped. He just kept getting in trouble and being fussed at or punished for not behaving. I didn't like it but what else was I supposed to do. He would have his toys taken away, he would have to write apology notes to his teachers and the school and he would sit for hours doing his homework instead of for a few minutes like most of the other kids in his class. I began to wonder what I was doing wrong as a parent. Why was he having so much trouble? But, I love my child and refused to give up. I continued meetings and seeing outside counselors. After doing research online for ADHA I saw the signs and symptoms in his behavior and asked the special education staff at school if that could be his problem and they told me no because the answers that I supplied to the questionnaire did not match the answers the teacher supplied and therefore they did not see the problem in a dual setting. This meant that he did not act the same at home as he did at school. My answer to that was that he did get in trouble and have similar behaviors at home as at school but he did not have to sit a desk for hours at home. He was able to move around, play outside, play video games and participate in other activities that kept him occupied and on the go. So, after 4 years of meeting, phone calls from the teachers and the school, having to leave work to pick him up from school because of his behavior and finally a suspension in the 2nd grade I took him to one final counselor who had me see the doctor at his office about the ADHD. She was great, took time to listen, go over his files from school and actually talked to and observed my son. She believed that he did have ADHD and suggested Ritalin. I had a lengthy discussion with her about the medication because I do not like to take medicines myself and did not want him to take anything that was not needed or might hurt him. After hearing all the information I decided to try it. After all, I had tried everything else possible. The next week after starting the medicine my son returned to school and I received a phone call from his teacher. I answered the phone, "What did he do now?" I just knew he had gotten in trouble again. She told me that was not why she was calling. She said she was calling to tell me how wonderful he was and that other teachers had praised him for his good behavior. So, my answer to you is, maybe not every child that is put on Ritalin needs it but there are cases when it is the best answer for child. His self-esteem had gotten so low because he was always getting in trouble that he thought he couldn't do anything right and now he knows he is smart and can succeed. Once his behavior was better and he could sit still long enough to participate without constantly being told to do so, he felt better about himself and he was able to make more friends. Then I was able to focus more on his grades than on his behavior. I had always know he had trouble with writing, drawing, coloring and he never wanted to do any of them but until I started looking online for worksheets and suggestions to help with his writing I had never heard of Dysgraphia. After seeing a list of signs and symptoms and checking off the ones that I had noticed in him, I just thought he was being lazy and refused to learn how to write properly. I thought he just didn't want to take the time to do it. But Dysgraphia is more than just a handwriting problem. When you have Dysgraphia you have trouble with drawing, coloring, tying your shoes, fastening buttons, playing with blocks, etc. Until then, I never understood why my son didn't like coloring books, he refused to tie his shoes even though I taught him how and he would not wear pants and jeans with buttons. They had to have zippers. After I read about Dysgraphia, it all began to make sense and I was able to understand him better. I took him to a psychologist that talk with us and then observed him then tested and diagnosed him with Dysgraphia. Once he was diagnosed, I started taking him to the Children's Hospital and worked with a handwriting specialist. His handwriting is a little better and will probably never be much better but at least now, we know what his problem is and how to deal with it. His schoolwork is hard to read but his teachers know why and we have various ways to let him complete his work so that he can say what he wants to say in a way that works for him. His grades are much better and he feels alot better about his work. He still takes a lot longer to get his work done and has to do some of his work aloud instead of in writing but at least he is not getting in trouble for being lazy and hard-headed like before. He is now a great student, friendly, polite and usually one of the best-behaved kids in the class. So, for someone to say that this is just used as a tool for everyone to get money from the government, you are mistaken. Yes, there are people out there that are quick to jump at the chance to get that money but not all of us are included in that group. I am a single mom and I do not get disability for my child. If anything, I spend money, that I don't really have to lose, getting these extra supplies for him that he needs, attending meetings at school so they will understand his problem, and doing everything I can to help him on my own. Because if it weren't for my persistence in trying to find out why my son was having so much trouble, he would still be getting in trouble and failing school. Then in the long run he probably would be one those of those people who drop out of school, can't find a job and live on welfare. So, no hard feelings sir, but if you don't have a child that has difficulties or a disability, be grateful and stop criticizing those of us that do. Most of us would not like to give our children medicines everyday and have to depend on others to help pay for the things they need to succeed.
Kim....Kudoos to you!! I am in a similar situation, except my son is 15. His kindergarten teacher told me that he had this problem, although "back then" it was called a "written expression disability"...Through all of his years in school, no one would recognize this as his problem. The only diagnosis I was ever able to get is that he has ADHD. Your persistence is vital to your child's success, and it will be the only way to advocate for him, for no one else will.
There is a promising iPad app addressing dysgraphia problems. Check out http://itraceapp.com
Gosh, you can't believe in this day and age, someone like John is still making these comments. But to say that we want our children to have all these difficulties to get monies is really ridiculous. We are in the UK and the only people that get any money for dyslexia or ADHD are extremely disabled (I don't like to use that word but it's true). People are asking for information on dysgraphia everday, and I try to help them, but can't help everyone unfortunately. However, I have a large website on special needs and a good deal on dysgraphia, at: www.dyslexiaa2z.com.thanks for reading, keep sending your questions in.
My son is 9 years old and 2 years ago was diagnosed with ADHD, although he excels in every one of the subjects in school, writing and spelling continue to be an issue. No matter how much he practices, he spaces his letters far apart, doesn't capitalize in the correct place, and after reading this and several other articles I feel more at ease about why he is having difficulty. I know it will be a long road for him and he will continue to struggle. But at least I know why. Thank you.
I have an 11 year old in 5 th grade, with absolutely poor handwriting. He spells great orally, but the words he write are spelled miserably wrong! Capitals are always forgotten and spacing is a mess. Sizes of letters are a challenge and it is very frustrating and discouraging to any writing assignments! We started typing lessons and hope it helps with his writing assignments.
How do I go about having my son tested and treated?
Have had Dysgraphia all my life
Teachers always said it was laziness carelessness
self diagnosed
always has hurt to write or type
Its is worse now that I am older
filling out paperwork is torture
Still cant believe I had to figure this out on my own.

Ahh, the sounds of summer. Birds chirping, food sizzling on the grill, the buzzing and buzzing and buzzing, the slapping, the spraying and, of course, the slamming of the back door as everyone races back inside.
Summer's biggest bummer is that swarm of mosquitoes heading your way. As if their irritating blood-sucking isn't bad enough, they can carry serious diseases.
Of the roughly 200 species of mosquitoes in the U.S., according to the fact-filled American Mosquito Control Association website, there are varieties that can transmit West Nile virus, malaria, dengue and Eastern Equine encephalitis.
There are lots of products on the market that promise to repel mosquitoes. The ones considered most effective, since 1957, contain the chemical DEET. It's been approved by the EPA, the American Academy of Pediatrics and Centers for Disease Control for use on anyone older than 2 months.
But there are alternatives, derived from natural ingredients, for those who worry about using DEET, which has been known to cause skin rashes and neurological health effects in rare cases.
Aside from DEET, two more mosquito repellent ingredients top the CDC's approval list: the synthetic chemical picaridin, and oil of lemon eucalyptus. The CDC considers both to be as effective as DEET.
Picaridin is the most popular repellent in the world outside the U.S. It's odorless, feels pleasant and, although derived from a pepper, is synthetic. There are only low concentrations for sale in the U.S. Cutter Advanced Sport has 15 percent picaridin and can only be used once daily, or 7 percent Cutter Advanced which can be used three times daily.
Lemon eucalyptus is now the most recommended natural mosquito repellent for consumers. It is sold as Repel Lemon Eucalyptus ($7.50 for 4 oz.) and is a botanical that's OK for kids at least 3 years old. Consumer Reports, in a 2006 study, said it was the best non-DEET repellent. It's sold at many large retail stores.
Another CDC-recommended anti-bug ingredient considered a biopesticide is IR3535, a synthetic version of an amino acid. It's in Bull Frog Mosquito Coast (20 percent IR3535) and Avon has it, along with sunscreen, in their Skin So Soft Bug-Guard Plus.
After these "officially approved" mosquito repellents, there are a cornucopia of "natural" items that claim to keep bugs at bay. Determining their efficacy is tricky, if not impossible.
The most familiar among them is citronella, derived from the lemon-scented citronella grass (not the same as lemongrass). We've been burning it in candles and coils, or applying citronella oil-infused bug deterrents for years (although it can irritate the skin). Unfortunately, studies have shown that the lotion works for less than 20 minutes, and if you're not standing in the candle's smoke, you're probably being bitten. It is also sold by major retailers and there are lots of options on Amazon.com.
More recently, other essential oils have been getting attention as natural insect repellents. Among the most popularly: neem, garlic, mint, pepper, thyme, cedar, geranium, peppermint, soybean, eucalyptus, rose, tea tree, castor, basil, cloves, onions, feverfew, cinnamon, lemongrass or rosemary.
There are also lists of natural mosquito control ingredients from the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service, The Green Guide, Consumer Search and AltMedicine at About.com.

By the way, just because a product is "botanical" doesn't make it safe. Products with pyrethrum (extracted from a daisy) have a "caution" rating from the EPA and can be toxic to fish and possibly birds. Other "natural" ingredients that could be risky are nicotine sulfate and sabadilla. Consumer Search says Canada is phasing out the use of citronella and lavender oil because of potential health risks.
A few natural repellents pop up repeatedly in recommended products: Bite Blocker ($9 for a 4-oz. spray bottle), Buzz Away Extreme Natural Insect Repellent ($10 for a 4-oz bottle), Burt's Bees Herbal Insect Repellent ($8 for 4-oz bottle) and EcoSmart Organic Insect Repellent ($7 for a 6-oz. bottle).
Searching the web will turn up hundreds of other options. There are home-made recipes online, using everything from vanilla extract to soybean oil to catnip oil – but don't apply oils directly to the skin (dilute them with other ingredients), as they can irritate or cause an allergic reaction.
One approach that's been around for a few years, but just last year hit the market in the form of a skin patch called Don't Bite Me, is the use of Vitamin B1. Exuded through the skin, B1 is reportedly offensive to mosquitoes, but undetectable to barbecue companions. Don't Bite Me patches, available at Rite Aid drugstores and Kroger groceries, claim to fend off mosquitoes for a full 36 hours and provide complete body coverage (because it's systemic not a lotion or spray there are no missed spots). The scent "forms a protective barrier around the body" says the press release. The product has received some positive anecdotal reviews, but skeptics of this approach abound.
What doesn't work? Bug-zappers kill mostly useful insects and very few mosquitoes, according to the American Mosquito Control Association. Ultrasonic devices have been proven ineffective in 10 studies. There are new sticky, specially scented mosquito "traps" that may catch some bugs, but the jury is still out on those. Fancy, expensive misting systems may work, and can use less toxic chemicals, but they still disperse a lot of insecticide in the air and on your patio or deck.

And bats? Sure, it could be fun to build a bat house, and the Bat Conservation Society has lots of varieties you can buy. While it's true that bats mostly eat insects, they generally prefer beetles, wasps and moths. According to the American Mosquito Control group, mosquitoes make up less then 1 percent of the diet of wild bats. Oh, and remember bats can transmit diseases, too.
All of which leads us to common sense ways to avoid mosquitoes:
- Look for standing water in cans, buckets, tires, old plastic swimming pools, rain gutters, puddles and in tarps. That's where they breed. Keep birdbaths fresh and stock your ornamental pond with fish that like to eat larvae.
- Some bugs like perfumes, lotions, scented deodorant, etc., so you might want to skip those
- Make sure the screens on windows and doors are OK.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants if you're going to be around the biters for a while. And you can put the repellent on your clothes, too.
- Plant mosquito-unfriendly plants such as marigolds, citronella grass, catnip or horsemint.
- Ready to give up? Just don't go outside between dusk and dawn.
Hungering for answers to questions about mosquitoes? The Mosquito Control group has a frequently asked questions page. Find insect repellent facts from the CDC, as well as more information on the active ingredients in repellents. They also have a list of practical steps to take to minimize mosquitoes.
Having a plan is a good idea. Consider these facts about the diseases mosquitoes transmit:
- Last year, there were 1,356 confirmed cases of West Nile virus in the U.S., with 44 deaths (California had the most cases), according to the CDC. Last month, the first human case was confirmed this year near Los Angeles. Less common in this country is dengue, which has cropped up in the U.S. 3,806 times from 1997 to 2004. Worldwide, though, more than 100 million people fall ill every year.
- Malaria, also spread by mosquitoes, kills more than 1 million people around the world, most in Africa. About 1,300 cases are diagnosed in the U.S. every year, the CDC says, mostly in travelers and immigrants. More lethal is Eastern Equine encephalitis, which usually only impacts horses or birds. There are only about five human cases in the U.S. annually, but it is so lethal that one-third of those infected die.

76....so i bot new clubs. "When it's working I change"
I shot a 70 (-2) once, but haven't gone under par since then. Looking forward to the next one :)
I had to look this thread back up. Yesterday I tied my best round ever with a -3 (69). I had five straight birdies on the front nine and left the sixth one revolution short and dead in the middle (31). Birdied #10 to get to -6, then found my normal form again with a double bogey and a bogey. I managed two more birdies and stood on #18 tee (105 yd par 3) at -5. A skulled PW, two chips and two putts later I carded a 69. I was in shock and still am to some extent, but I can't quit telling myself with eight birdies "oh, what could have been!"
My lowest score is a 3 under 69. I birdied the last two holes and almost made eagle on the par 4 18th. I had a 2 inch tap in putt to shoot 69. There was no pressure on that last putt to shoot 3 under. Just a smile on my face from ear to ear to finally break 70.
Well I shot 68 in a tournament 3 times, but my lowest nine in a tournament was 31. Just playing, I shot 65 once. And on nines I shot 30 once with a bogey on the 7th hole. Bummer to shoot in the 20s. In a tournament round I have never played a round without a bogey. But when I play, I play from the tips.
Sounds sort of like me. I also shot 75 before extensive back and knee surgeries; my surgical list is probably more extensive, though. Three lumbar fusion surgeries, bi-lateral total knee replacements (same time) after nine arthroscopies - three prior to the 75, two bi-lat bunion surgeries, four rotator cuff surgeries, and wrist surgery. No injuries, just played basketball for decades with resulting wear and tear on cartilage leading to degenerative joint disease. I can still turn, and carry my bag (only - won't ride in a cart because it's worse on my back), and hit the ball, but my better scores are in the low- to mid-80s. Higher scores are from playing less (job demands). Golf is simply another disease I have.
69 right after I purchased my new Titlest AP2 710s. I was playing with two other individuals on a very slow day and on hole 16 they were going to head into the clubhouse. That was when I had to tell them that I was shooting the round of my life and wanted them to play the rest of the course with me to be witness. Those last three holes were the most stressful holes I have ever played. Haven't come close since unfortunately.
My lowest score is 70, which is par at my home course, and one under at my home course from several years ago. I have missed putts as short as 10 ft on the last hole for 69, but it will happen some day.
74 and that was about 14 years ago during a bachelor party with some friends. Ever since then i haven't been able to break 80.. it's killing me!!! haha.. That's the beauty of golf, ya never know....
Lowest round ever I have shot 64 on 3 occasions and my lowest 9 holes was -7=28
81 at The Quarry in San Antonio, Texas. Previously lowest was 84. Trying to consistently score in the 80's after getting back into golf and spending time working down from 100 into 90's.
It's a slow process but those rounds where you are just on and attacking the course is what pushes me to get better. The feeling of getting a new low round is unlike anything else for me so far in golf.
76. -1 thru 13 holes then double, double, bogey. Index is a 7 right now and going up when that score falls off.

My main reason for actually going to Market this year was to help my friend Emily man her Geared for Guys both. Emily had not one, but two booths, this market. One for her new fabric collection for Michael Miller, Shore Thing and a separate one for her new book, Geared for Guys. It's hard to be in two places at once.
Here she is in her Shore Thing booth with her cute Dad. Don't you love his shirt made out of the sailboat fabric from her collection? I also got to piece one of her new quilts (the one with the circles hanging over the blue shutter) and bind a couple others. (Including one on the airplane ride to KC.) It was very fun to get a sneak peak of this new collection.
I was excited that I was able to get out and roam for a bit as well! Next door, also in the Michael Miller area, was Violet Craft and her newest collection, Madrona Road. SO. Cute.
I also created this quilt, designed with Sarah Jane, to go with her map and ship panels. There will be a free PDF pattern for this quilt when the fabric is released later this summer.
Also at Riley Blake, the very sweet Shari of Doohikey Designs. I love the zigzags in her new collection, Dress Up Days. Shari is about as sweet and genuine a person as you can find.

These seven Kane wrestlers qualified for the northwest regional tournament, which will take place at Sharon High School this Friday and Saturday. From left to right are, front row, Austin Hulings, Keaton Rounsville, Evan DeLong; back row, Cody Blankenship, Jon Gelsick, Darren Brown and Austin Woolcock. The top three finishers at each weight class in Sharon advance to the PIAA Championships in Hershey.
CLARION – The Kane wrestling team will be sending seven wrestlers to Friday's northwest regional tournament in Sharon, including two District 9 AA champions, Evan DeLong and Cody Blankenship. Joining the two seniors will be Austin Woolcock, Jon Gelsick, Darren Brown, Austin Hulings and Keaton Rounsville.
CLARION – Ten of 12 Kane wrestlers to take part in the 2014 District 9 Class AA Championships remain alive in the hunt to advance to next weekend's Northwest Regional Tournament in Sharon. Seven Wolves will wrestle in this morning's semifinals while three are still alive in the consolations. Kane goes into Saturday's action in third place in the team score, with 66 points, behind Brookville's 72 and Redbank Valley's 70.5.
CLARION – The 2013-2014 Kane boys' basketball team left everything they had on the court in Thursday night's District 9 AA playoff game with Karns City. The Wolves and Gremlins battled it out for four quarters but it came down to the final seconds as a Kane basket was ruled after the buzzer to give Karns City a 44-43 win.
ST. MARYS – For the Lady Wolves' inexperience in the playoffs, Kane sure knew how to finish Thursday's playoff game with Curwensville.
The Kane Area Middle School wrestlers traveled to Brockway on Saturday to take part in the District 9 Junior High Tournament. Nine Wolves wrestlers competed in the district tournament, with one Kane wrestler, Aiden Hulings, coming away with a championship.
I have written many times about my search for the elusive and rare visitor from the far north, the snowy owl. As far as birds of prey are concerned, the snowy owl is at the top of my "want to see' list. In late December of 2012 and early January of 2013, reports of snowy owl sightings started to show up. Not in big numbers, but they were seen here and there. In my case it was mostly "there." I ventured to the shores of Lake Erie, on Presque Isle, with no luck. I probably had waited too long, and the owl or owls, was gone.
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders captured the 2014 Allegheny Mountain League championship Saturday night by defeating the Kane Lady Wolves by a 51-37 score. Elk, the North Division champ, reached the title game by defeating the South Division runnerup Brockway Friday night. Kane, the North Division second seed, defeated the South Division champion DuBois Central Friday night.
The Kane Area High School Competition Cheerleaders attended the Champion Cheer Central Red Hot Cheer and Dance Competition at Clarion University on Sunday and competed in two different divisions with two different routines for the first time this season.Â
The third time proved to be a charm for coach Dave Kiehl's Kane girls' basketball team. The Lady Wolves took on the DuBois Central Catholic Lady Cardinals for the third time in two weeks and beat them for the first time this season, 31-28, on DCC's home court Friday night. The game was an Allegheny Mountain League [AML] semifinal contest with the winner advancing to tonight's AML final to be played at St Marys Area High School at 6 p.m. against Elk County Catholic.

LONDON — Harry Gordon Selfridge, the man who helped put the romance into retail, is ready to sweet-talk the American public in a new British TV drama that's a world away from "Downton Abbey."
Later this month, PBS will air "Mr Selfridge," the biggest show it has ever created and brought to the screen. Produced by ITV Studios for ITV1 and PBS, it's a lavish costume drama — with cash registers and midseason sales — based on the Chicago native Selfridge and his quest to sex up British shopping.
Forget Downton's posh types above stairs and the paupers down below. "Mr Selfridge" has showgirls, shopgirls, brash businessmen and lots of snazzy merch. Thanks to Harry Selfridge, Selfridges was the first store in Britain to put the bling into shopping and bill it as entertainment rather than a chore.
The 10-part series, which stars another Chicago native, Jeremy Piven, is based on Lindy Woodhead's 2007 biography of the rags-to-riches-to-rags retailer, "Shopping, Seduction and Mr. Selfridge." Woodhead's book will be published for the first time in the U.S. by Random House to coincide with the launch of the series on March 31.
The show, created and cowritten by the Emmy Award-winning Andrew Davies, made its debut here in January and already attracted an average audience of 8.5 million per episode, compared with 10.1 million for the third — and highest-rated — season of "Downton." A second season of "Mr Selfridge" has been given the green light, and filming begins in April. A third season is also in the pipeline, according to industry sources.
"Downton" and "Mr Selfridge" follow roughly the same time frame — both begin with the Edwardian Era in full swing and the British Empire at its height. Their budgets, at upwards of 1 million pounds an episode, or $1.51 million at current exchange, are similar too. But the show's executive producer, Kate Lewis, insists the similarities end there.
"'Downton Abbey' hit a certain zeitgeist and spurred a golden age for U.K. drama, but with 'Mr Selfridge' we've tried to do something different," said Lewis in an interview following a tour of the set in a cavernous former carpet warehouse in London.
"We've based it on an historical figure…and we're looking at a turning point in history through the prism of retail. We're also looking at what happened to women: Retail was the one place where a woman could have a high-powered career, and that is fascinating."
"Downton," she said, was very much about looking back and about "the modern world imposing on the past. We're very much about progress, commerce and the future."
Before the great showman and marketer Selfridge — who had amassed a fortune as a partner at Marshall Field & Co. — arrived in England, there wasn't so much as a powder room in any store. Shop windows were a jumble of incongruous merchandise, and rarely was there heating or even adequate lighting. At the time, stores also used to employ a sales assistant known as a "floorwalker," whose job was to eject members of the public who were perceived to be browsing rather than buying.
By contrast, Selfridge wanted his Oxford Street store to offer the public lots of entertainment and opportunities to linger. It had a restaurant, the Palm Court; a ground-floor beauty hall with a dedicated Elizabeth Arden counter; escalators; air-conditioning; live entertainment; celebrity appearances, and even special training programs and leisure activities for the staff.
Much like Selfridge himself, ITV was thinking on a grand scale. It re-created the vast ground floor of the Oxford Street flagship, right down to the marble pillars, which are placed at exactly the same distance as they were in the original store. In addition, Harry's Art Nouveau-ish townhouse has a full-scale breakfast room, a hallway with colored North African-style tiles and a cantilevered staircase.
"We started from nothing," said Rob Harris, the production designer, whose team created the pillars and walls from trompe l'oeil marble, stained glass windows and a "movable feast" of glass counters on wheels, laden with leather gloves, jewelry, colored shawls, soaps and fragrances. "We really wanted to capture the revolutionary nature — and the welcoming expanse — of the store as it was then," said Harris.

News Release 071
State Parks Youth Corps job fair April 1 at Onondaga Cave State Park
Volume 39-071 (For Immediate Release)
For more information: 573-751-1010
JEFFERSON CITY, MO., MARCH 18, 2011 -- Young Missourians have an opportunity for a summer job while learning new skills and discovering Missouri state parks and historic sites. Information about this year's State Parks Youth Corps will be provided at a job fair April 1 at Onondaga Cave State Park near Leasburg.
The job fair will be held from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the park store. Staff from the park will be available to answer questions about the program and what opportunities are available for this year.
The State Parks Youth Corps will provide jobs for youth 17-21 years of age from April 1 through Nov. 30. Youth will earn $7.25 an hour and work throughout the state, enhancing and improving Missouri state parks and historic sites. The program also will provide them with work experience and an opportunity to learn new skills and possible careers in natural resources.
Youth corps members will perform a variety of tasks from routine maintenance work and trail construction to guided tours and social media efforts. Examples include painting buildings and repairing roofs and windows; planting trees and maintaining landscapes; building and maintaining trails; inventorying historic artifacts and native species; assisting in offices and visitor centers; and providing tours and programs.
First initiated by Gov. Nixon in 2010, the State Parks Youth Corps is a partnership between the Missouri Division of Workforce Development, the Missouri Division of State Parks, and Missouri's local Workforce Investment Boards. The local boards help recruit and place individual youth in work positions at the parks. Park staffs provide guidance and leadership to the youth workers throughout the summer.
This year's program is funded by Workforce Investment Act 15 percent funds and youth must meet Workforce Investment Act guidelines, which include low income or other eligibility requirements. Income guidelines vary from an income of $10,890 for a family of one to $37,630 for a family of eight or receiving public assistance or food stamps. Other eligibility requirements include areas such as qualifying as homeless; or being a foster child, school dropout or being deficient in basic literary skills.
Applications and additional program information, including eligibility guidelines, are available at MO.gov. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit with the local Workforce Investment Boards about eligibility guidelines.
In 2010, State Parks Youth Corps members at Onondaga Cave State Park assisted with cave tours, nature programs, building maintenance and grounds keeping. In 2011, job duties may include building maintenance, grounds keeping, assisting visitors and cave tours.
Onondaga Cave State Park is located five miles south of Leasburg on Highway H. For information about the job fair at Onondaga Cave State Park, call the park at 573-245-6576. For information on state parks and historic sites, visit mostateparks.com.

text: 5 John Carter, old school pulp action adventure at it's best!Posted: 21/03/2012After reading the series of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs (and would totally recommend them to anyone, especially the first three books), I was really looking forward to seeing this. The fact that at the helm is a director that actually knows how to tell a story put it in good stead. Even though the trailers did come across as a Star Wars/Avatar clone, and people are already lazily writing it off as such, but as the original book 'A Princess Of Mars' was first published 100 years ago, you can see after reading the book that George Lucas, James Cameron were definitely 'inspired' and mined the books for ideas.Well, that day has at last arrived! John Carter is finally on the big screen, and I have to say, I loved it! From when we first see the battle of the Zodangan and Heliumite airships over the skies of Barsoom (Mars), it really reminded me of the old swashbuckling movies and overall, director Andrew Stanton seems to have recaptured that old pulp action adventure spirit. Yes, I wasn't expecting a true book-to-film adaptation, things were missing or changed from the book, but then again, it's always to be expected. Not everything will translate well from the page and your imagination to screen, not forgetting that the original source material in 100 years old too.I thought the leads played their parts pretty well, impressed with Lynn Collins' Dejah Thoris (I think I'm in love!) and James Purefoy's Kantos Kan, even if his role was pretty brief! I also liked the way the movie was bookended with the Edgar Rice Burroughs (Daryl Sabara) scenes.Forget the critics, it's much better than you think. And if you like a good old fun swashbuckling pulp action adventure, like the Sinbad films of old (or even Raiders Of The Lost Ark perhaps), you should give this a watch! Recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beaumommy Love this lovie!
When it was recommended to me by my mommy and me teacher to find a lovie for my then 3 month old, I picked up this Terry bunny. I wanted something organic, i didn't want to worry about toxins. It went everywhere with my son until he really got attached to it, so now it stays in the crib for naps and sleep time. It's just the perfect size for him to wrap his fingers around. I have two in rotation and a third in a drawer incase one goes missing since we couldn't live without it. They go in the wash fine, which is good because they do get dirty being white. That is my one complaint, I wish they came in a darker color.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jrouse Great Teether!
I bought this for my daughter when she was 6 months old. She couldn't get any relief from teething and wanted to bite down on everything. She loves chomping down on the stuffed hands, feet and ears. It's really soft terry and washes well. The size is perfect for little hands and as a car seat toy. Definitely recommend this for all babies!
March 18, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tammy2010 Easy to carry
I love this little bunny. It goes everywhere and you can just throw it in the wash and it looks the same as it did when it was purchased. My son can hold it and while he is teething he can chew on it and it doesn't hurt his gums. I attach it to the stroller or car seat with the toy ties and we do not lose it when he throws it.
March 13, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kindra Too cute
Measures about 8". The firm is just terry two-ply except for a 2" extension that connects from the head. It washes well and I even through it in a hot dryer. My daughter didn't develop an interest with this toy till she was about 9 months old. She had a lot of other brighter, softer toys that made noises. Overall this is nice but don't expect them to play with it if there are other toys around that rattle and crinkle.

(1 Question : 1 Answer)
See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
I'm looking for a small, breathable, organic cotton lovey that I can use for sleep time for my almost 5 month old. Are the hands and feet part of the same piece of cloth as the body or are they separate and just sewn on? Could this work as a lovey?Answers
Look no further -- giggle's Better Basics Terry Bunny is a small, breathable, organic cotton lovey! The hands and feet are part of the Bunny's body fabric, and are stitched for definition. Not only is our Bunny a soft lovey, she's a great healthy teething toy, as well!1 of 1
