Program Helps Young Cancer Survivor's Classmates Understand ...

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ? When a child has a major illness, the focus is on making sure they recover. But once they?re well, the transition back to everyday life can be a challenge. Classmates don?t always know how to react when a child returns to school, but the school re-entry program works to make that process easier.

It wasn?t long ago when cancer kept Julia Kauth from fully enjoying her life. Now an active 7-year-old, Julia has recovered from a rare form of kidney cancer.

?All of it, overall, was extremely difficult,? said Torey Kauth, Julia?s father.

One unexpected challenge of the healing process came when Julia became the center of unwanted attention when she returned to school.

?They would say I kind of looked like a boy,? Julia said.

To help her fellow students understand her illness, Julia relied on the Children?s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota?s school re-entry program. Vicky Neis, a child life specialist, went to Julia?s class to answer questions about her cancer.

Neis said she explained to the schoolchildren that cancer is not contagious and that kids with cancer did nothing wrong to get it.

?They told everyone what I was going to be doing, and it happens to other kids,? Julia said.

Now in its twentieth year, the program has grown much. Last year, it helped 104 kids.

?I think it?s demystifying, in a way that?s positive, is really helpful,? Neis said.

When Julia heads back to class in the fall, she knows she won?t be a distraction.

?They don?t ask questions about me anymore, and they don?t stare at me,? Julia said.

Part of the education the program gives focuses on the child?s friends. It encourages them to take on the burden of answering questions if their friend doesn?t feel up to it.

The Children?s School Re-Entry Program is funded by Great Clips. From now until Friday, Great Clips stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin will donate a portion of the proceeds from every haircut. To learn more about the program, go to the Children?s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota website.

Pro-bailout conservatives win Greek election

ATHENS, Greece (AP) ? The conservative party that backs keeping Greece in the eurozone won the country's national election Sunday and immediately proposed forming a pro-euro coalition government ? a development that eased, at least briefly, deep fears that the vote would unleash an economic tsunami.

As central banks stood ready to intervene in case of financial turmoil, Greece held its second national election in six weeks after an inconclusive ballot on May 6. The vote was seen as crucial since it could determine whether Greece would leave the joint euro currency, a move that would have potentially catastrophic consequences for other ailing European nations, the United States and the entire global economy.

With 66 percent of the vote counted, official results showed the conservative New Democracy winning 30.1 percent of the vote and 130 of the 300 seats in Parliament. The radical anti-bailout Syriza party had 26.5 percent and 70 seats and the pro-bailout Socialist PASOK party came in third with 12.6 percent of the vote and 34 seats.

The parties have starkly different views about what to do about the ?240 billion ($300 billion) in bailout loans that Greece has been given by international lenders, and the harsh austerity measures that previous Greek governments had to accept to get the funds.

"The Greek people today voted for Greece to remain on its European path and in the eurozone," New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras said. "(Voters chose) policies that will bring jobs, growth, justice and security."

Syriza chief Alexis Tsipras, who had tapped into a vein of deep anger over the plunging living standards faced by many Greeks, had wanted to rip up Greece's international bailout deals and roll back the new taxes, job cuts and pension cuts imposed in the last two years.

That plan will have to wait, since the party that comes in first ? New Democracy ? gets the first stab at forming a new majority in Parliament. If they fail, the next highest party gets to try.

Tsipras congratulated Samaras and conceded the election.

The head of Greece's socialist PASOK party, meanwhile, proposed that a unity government be formed of four top parties, including Syriza despite its anti-bailout views.

PASOK's Evangelos Venizelos, who spent months negotiating bailouts as Greece's finance minister, suggested dumping the usual procedure of each party seeking coalition partners. He said a government must be formed quickly and suggested one between New Democracy, Syriza, PASOK and the small Democratic Left.

"There is not one day to lose. There is no room for party games. If we want Greece to really remain in the euro and get out of the crisis to the benefit of every Greek government, it must have a government tomorrow," Venizelos said after results were announced.

Greece has been dependent on rescue loans since May 2010, after it was locked out of the international markets following years of profligate spending and falsifying financial data. The spending cuts made in return for the bailout loans have left the country mired in a fifth year of recession, with unemployment spiraling to above 22 percent and tens of thousands of businesses shutting down.

The austerity measures have included deep spending cuts on everything from health care to education and infrastructure, as well as tax hikes and reductions of salaries and pensions.

Virtually unknown outside of Greece four months ago, Tsipras and his party shot to prominence in the May 6 vote, where he came a surprise second. But his pledges, which included canceling planned privatizations, nationalizing banks and rolling back cuts to minimum wages and pensions, horrified European leaders as well as many Greeks.

Experts said his proposals would lead to Greece getting tossed out of the eurozone and immediate, severe economic hardship for locals for years.

Samaras, meanwhile, cast Sunday's choice as one between the euro and returning to the country's old currency, the drachma. He has vowed to renegotiate some of the bailout's harsher terms but insists the top priority is for the country to remain in Europe's joint currency.

"Today the Greek people speak. Tomorrow a new era for Greece begins," Samaras said after voting in southern Greece.

The vote went smoothly except for one incident in which 10 men armed with sledgehammers and wooden bats attacked a polling station in central Athens, wounding two policemen and setting fire to the ballot box. The attack took place in the Athens neighborhood of Exarhia, a traditional haven for anarchists.

Greek police were also investigating the discovery Sunday of two unexploded hand grenades outside private Skai television station on the outskirts of Athens.

Children's Health & Fitness ? Fitness For Youth

June 9th, 2012 by Len Saunders

From The Herald Sports?..

Here we go again.

That was my first thought when I heard Thursday that our provincial government plans to spend a couple of million dollars to help improve youth fitness and health.

The investment takes aim at childhood obesity and chronic disease, in large part through a series of activities designed to make kids healthier.

Many things are involved in fighting childhood obesity and chronic disease, so not all of the activities covered under this program are linked to physical fitness. Clearly, though, youth sports and fitness play key roles in the battle.

It sounds like a smart investment, one that covers a wide range of concerns and could improve life for kids here.

But we?ve heard of such plans in the past.

make it perfect: .Fil's baby shower + giveaway winners.

Did you miss me?? My blog posts are so sporadic at the moment that I bet you didn't even know I was gone!

I've just spent the weekend in Sydney for my little sister's baby shower!? Isn't she the cutest?!? And at 35 weeks has the best little bump ever!

It was so lovely to spend the weekend with my Mum and two sisters.? We are all so alike, yet very different and our personalities definitley compliment each other.? I remember when Dad had a stroke (which we thought was a heart attack at the time) and we were all at Mum & Dad's house for the Christmas holidays.? Mum went to the hospital with Dad, leaving us girls at home...it is hilarious to look back at our coping mechanisms: Carli - non-stop talking, making absolutely no sense.? I whipped out the vacuum cleaner and proceeded to clean the house from top to bottom because I didn't want Mum to have to come home to any housework and Filipa sat on the couch and cried!? See what I mean about complimenting each other beautifully - at least we weren't all fighting over the vacuum cleaner!

Filipa is a pure delight and always has been the lovely one of the family.? And you could tell just how many people really do love her from the large gathering and lots of hugs and laughter at her baby shower.

Apart from the baby shower, we also went out for a delicious "girls only" dinner and ate way too much in our three course dinner that finished off with musical plates circulating around the table so that we could sample each others dessert!? On Sunday night we visited the spectacular light show, Vivid Sydney and were awed by the amazing artistic transformation of the city.? And Saturday saw us taking a trip to North Head lookout.? The view of the city was out of this world.?
?And I'm not joking when I tell you it was one of the most windy days I've experienced in a long time...
?It made us all go a little crazy!


Now, before I forget - I must share the winners of the Creative Card giveaway...

Congrats Melisa and Amy!? I'll email you with more info :)
