As we enter the summer months, many of us are looking forward to and planning our summer vacations. But how do you manage your little ones sleep while traveling? When your child is tired, he will have a shorter attention span and be less able to engage with the world in a positive way. Sleep is a universal human need. It has been shown to effect crucial development, mood, and growth in young children.

Schools out! It doesnt matter if youre young or old; the anticipation contained in those two words is electric. What will you and your family be reading this summer? With the hottest days of summer still to come and road trips looming ahead, I thought Id share one of my favorite happy tips: Audio Books. Now, Im not a total audio book junkie (no pile by my bed, no listening while I work around the house), but put me in a bus or car and I am so there! This format has evolved from edited books on cassette tape to the highlyproduced CD and downloadable options today. Downloadable, you say? Yes! From your librarys website www. slolibrary.org, you can access the software for OverDrive, which offers both mp3 and iPod options and even some burnable books (CD burning, not Fahrenheit 451 bonfire burning!). The link for these is right in the middle of the page, just click on the big green text: DOWNLOAD. We no longer carry cassette tapes and the books on CD really fly off the shelves. Okay, I have two approaches to the art of listening to books. My usual choice is to listen to books I have
already read. I read really fast -almost an inhalation of the story, and then I wander around in a daze with one foot in two worlds. Later, when I come up for air, I can luxuriate in the language and subtleties by listening to a familiar tale come back to life. This is especially true with the Harry Potter books. Jim Dale has won Grammys for his pitch perfect reading of this series. His mastery is in never crossing the line from character to caricature and therefore not stepping on the imagination toes of his audience. I am looking forward to borrowing my friends collection (which they claim is the best) of the UK recordings done by Stephen Fry, although it will feel a bit like cheating on Jim Dale. Both Jim Dale and Nathaniel Parker, who awesomely reads the hilarious Artemis Fowl series, are native speakers, which I feel enriches their performances of these British epic single reader productions. There are also multicast audio books that have a following. Brian Jacques Redwall series has a full cast, but these dont work for me as I find their dialogues to be distracting and cacophonic, especially while driving. I know; ask me how I really feel, right! I have
not totally dismissed multiple reader productions. I just dont like them talking to each other while someone else narrates! Paul Fleishmans Seedfolks has a different persons point of view for each chapter and with 13 different characters, they all come alive via the distinct performances of a widely varied cast. When Kim, a young Vietnamese girl, plants some lima beans in a run-down vacant lot, she has no idea that her actions will be a catalyst for transforming the neighborhood back into a community. This use of diverse readers nurtures the listener as well as the garden. Our own Jay Ashers book Thirteen Reasons Why also uses two voices, as the protagonist listens to tapes left by a classmate/crush who committed suicide. These teen readers provide an immediacy and depth that creates an experience equally compelling to both male and female listeners and opens up opportunities for communication. Jays next book (written with Carolyn Mackler) The Future of Us is about two teens in 1996 who discover their 2012 Facebook pages and try to influence or change their future adult selves. It is also done with two readers and works equally well for getting into the heads and hearts of the teens.
Pennypackers Clementine series and Beverley Clearys Ramona books! These laugh-out-loud funny stories manage to convey great lessons ripe for discussion. When you listen to books as a family on a long drive, you create learning moments that naturally arise as each person offers their own take on a character or situation. Just remember that these are equal opportunity lessons. Listen to your children and they will teach you well. Be sure to include shared books in your scrapbook. They were part of your family vacation, and the story memories may trigger even more memories. I hope your whole family is signed up for Summer Reading Programs at your local branch Library: Dig Into Reading for infants through 5th grade, Beneath The Surface for teens and tweens, and Groundbreaking Reads for adults. Everyone will have something to celebrate by reaching their reading goals! Dont forget to follow us on Facebook (SLOCountyLibrary) to keep up with the fun @ Your Library.

Dyslexia Can Be Corrected
by Karyn Lutes, MA, CCC-SLP The Speech And Learning Coach
Adult Art Class
Dyslexia is a brain-based type of learning disability that specifically impairs a persons ability to read, as explained by The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and those affected typically read at levels significantly lower than expected, despite having normal intelligence. Dyslexia mainly affects written language (reading, writing, and spelling), but can also affect working with numbers, and is sometimes accompanied by Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). Many students struggle with reading in school, and they may or may not have been diagnosed with dyslexia. These students are often bright, so they quickly notice their shortcomings compared to the skills of their classmates and younger siblings. This can result in eroded self-esteem, anxiety, and frustration. Tragically, these effects go well beyond elementary school. According to a long-term study released in April 2011 by the American Educational Association, A student who cant read on grade level by 3rd grade is four times less likely to graduate by age 19 than a child who does read proficiently by that time. Early identification with specialized intervention is the best remedy to address reading, spelling, and learning problems. Warning signs of dyslexia and reading problems include: slow, choppy and inaccurate reading; confusion between left and right; mixing up sounds in words; failure to remember or comprehend what was read; poor spelling; difficulty processing auditory or visual information; limited vocabulary; very slow writing; poor punctuation and capitalization, and hard work with limited achievement. Dyslexia and reading problems are the SYMPTOM of one or more weak cognitive skills that, when identified through an assessment, can explain WHY an individual is struggling. Can dyslexia and other reading challenges be corrected? YES!
While we are biologically wired to speak language, reading and spelling are not automatic, so our brains must create new neural-circuitry. In 2005, a neurological study published by the National Academy of Sciences Early Edition used 3-D functional MRI to demonstrate that new neuropathways could be created in the dyslexic brain (after only 8 weeks of specialized brain training) to correct neural circuitry, thus making reading and learning easier and more efficient. Treatment should include a sequential and structured one-toone proven program with strong cognitive and clinical research behind the intervention. Cognitive skills remediation is very different from tutoring and what schools can offer. The framework of the school system and tutoring is not geared toward remediation of processing skills, or dyslexia, because their focus is limited to teaching knowledge and higher-level concepts. Many learning disabilities, including dyslexia, can be permanently corrected with specialized braintraining programs. Children, adolescents and adults, whose learning had been crippled and limited, can now experience a greater potential with the opportunity to connect their dreams to the reality of their future.

GUY CRABB PUBLISHING
Every year, a local newspaper comes up with a list of the best places or things in our county. Its always fun to read about the winners and runners up. As I look through the winners this year, I play a game of trying to remember what business used to be at that location years ago. If you believe I must be crazy to find such a game amusing, you may join my wife in your false assumption. If you think this is a fun exercise of historic knowledge, then you may continue to read. If you dont want to read on, then I suggest going to Jacks joke page. He always has some funny one-liners. Lets start, shall we? Remember, if you disagree with the top picks, dont blame me. Im just reporting the news and not making it. I will need to break out my San Luis Obispo 100 Years Higuera book to find some answers. Voted Best San Luis Obispo Restaurant is Novo at 726 Higuera Street. My wife loves this place. The thing I like about Novo it is that
when Im sitting inside, I know I am in a building built in 1897 out of brick that was possibly from the Ah Louis brickyard. I enjoy knowing that I am sitting in a place where cigars were hand-rolled for the smoking citizens of our county. Kluvers Cigar Store opened at the turn of the century and stayed in business for 60 years at this address. I moved into town in the 1980s when this location housed the Cigar Factory Restaurant, which had been in business since the 1960s. I even remember when Konas was there for a while. The Best Breakfast selection is Louisas Place at 964 Higuera Street. They have a good breakfast menu, even though my favorite breakfast is at the Budget Caf on lower Higuera (I dont always agree with the winning selections.) Many people in town cant imagine that there was a business at this location before Louisas. Best Ever Grill occupied this address for over 15 years, from the early 1950s to the early 1970s.
Any restaurant in business for more than 15 years must be serving good food. Louisas Place has been open for over 37 years! The Best Vegetarian Fare designation goes to Big Sky Caf at 1121 Broad Street. I dont go into Big Sky very often because the food is just too healthful for me, but when I do venture in, I can imagine the blacksmith shop in this location at the turn of the century. Probably the most notable business at this location before Big Sky was Idlers Appliances. Idlers has been selling and servicing appliances for years, and they were at this location from the early 1960s into the early 1980s. So, when you are enjoying your healthful dinner, remember that the place used to be full of washers and dryers. Does anyone remember when Dr. West Indies Bar was here for a short time? The Best Seafood Restaurant in SLO is Ciopinot Seafood Grille at 1051 Nipomo Street. From the outside, you can tell that this is no ordinary building. When you are sitting in Ciopinot, you are in what used to be part of a creamery business where milk, butter, cheese, and other dairy products were processed. Golden State Creamery provided dairy products to people across California. You can walk around The Creamery and see clues that this place was a busy dairy operation (massive refrigerator doors, a roof-mounted cooling tower, and remnants of boilers and piping recycled into planters) back in the 1910s through the 1970s. I remember when it was Tortilla Flats, a popular Mexican restaurant from the early 1970s into the early 2000s. The Best Pizza selection went to Woodstocks at 1000 Higuera Street. As you enjoy the best pizza, try to
imagine that this location was once a very large liquor store. Let me tell you a little secret. 1000 Higuera was actually 1040 Osos Street. The city made the change in 1980 because Sullys Cocktail Lounge wanted their address to be Higuera Street. Before Sullys, 1000 Higuera/1040 Osos was known as Lagomarsinos Wholesale Liquors, which occupied this location from the 1940s to the late 1970s. The second floor was used as a warehouse for many years. In 1992, the second floor became Kennedy Fitness Center until they vacated the location in 2007. The original Woodstocks opened in 1980 at 1015 Court Street, and moved to Higuera in 1991. By the way, Woodstocks was named after one of its founders, Chuck Woodstock. Tragically, he died in a plane crash along with cofounder Mike Chew in 1985. Eureka! was selected as the Best Burger joint in town. Once again, I cant always agree with the voters, as my favorite burger is The Duke at Cool Cats. Eureka! is located at 1141 Chorro Street, which has been home to many businesses. During the 1930s and 1940s, Santa Maria Gas Company was in this location. Then it was the Title Insurance Company for about 15 years. Mission Federal Savings and Loan opened here in the 1980s, and Home Federal Bank opened in 1990. In the early 1990s, this location switched from banking to a restaurant location. Linns Restaurant took over in the 1990s, and then Corner View Restaurant occupied this location for several years.

Beauty Blog: Pro Make-Up Tips

by Mandy Buechner
Self Care
a more casual look.If your mascara smells funny or is more than six months old, its time to toss it. After youve coated lashes with mascara, add just one more layer to the outer corners. The extra coat will make your lashes look especially long and make your eyes appear farther apart. For thickness, hold the brush as close as possible to base of lashes, and wiggle it as you move it up through lashes (this motion helps get every lash). Let mascara dry for ten seconds, then replace brush at lash base, and wiggle again as you move up the lashes. Lip Liner: Lip liner is very important to keep lip color from feathering, or wearing out past the lines of your lips, and it can also keep the color looking vibrant all day. 1. Choose a lip liner color that works best with the look you are trying to achieve. 2. Put two dots in the two highest parts of the cupids bow (in the center of your top lip). 3. On the bottom lip, put a horizontal dash in the center, as close to the edge as possible. 4. Connect the three marks together with short strokes of the pencil along the edges of your lips. Take it slow. Once youve lined the edge of your lips, blend it over your whole lip. Dont forget the corners of your mouth! This will decrease the chance of your lip color fading and leaving only the liner outline. 5. Now apply your lip color over the liner. Lipstick: Subtle colors and neutral tones can serve you well on casual days and weekend afternoons. When it comes to dressing up, nothing says Party better than a glamorous red! Quiet pinks and sheer textures are ideal for warm weather; creamy dark wines and plums are great for winter. Olive skin looks best in light browns with warm tones, or dark brownishreds. Stay away from pinks or orangereds! Fair complexions fare well with shades that have a warm pink or peachy glow, or dramatic reds with a bluish tint. Dark skin is flattered by deep reds with blue or purple tones, or deep reddish-browns. Avoid pinks or orange-reds! * If you missed Parts 1, 2, or 3 of Professional Makeup Tips, visit Mandys blog at www.mandyb.com to get caught up!

Part 4* Finishing Make-up

Eye Liner: People with fair skin and light eyes should avoid dark and black eyeliners and mascara. Instead, use brown. Applying eyeliner is tricky, but getting a straight line is worth your time. 1. Stand 6 inches away from a mirror and tilt your chin up, so that when you look down your nose into the mirror, you can see your entire eyelid. 2. Dab concealer or dust translucent powder on your upper lids. Blend well with a sponge or lightly pat with a fingertip to cover veins and prevent creasing.3. Before applying liner, determine your eye shape. If eyes are close-set or round, line only the outer corners. Otherwise, rim the entire upper lid.4. Soften a pencil tip by rolling it between your fingers.5. Gently pull your eyelid taut at an upward angle. Beginning at the inner corner, draw small, connected dashes along the top lashes. Be sure to stay close to the roots so there is no skin visible between the lashes and the liner. To make eyes look bigger, extend
the liner slightly beyond the outer 6. Brush a coordinating corners. powder shadow on top of the liner to keep it from rubbing off.7. Soften the line with a sponge tip or cotton swab by rubbing it slightly up and out at the corners. 8. Use a cotton swab to fix mistakes. For larger messes, dip it in makeup remover. Lash Curler: Want amazing lash lift? Use an eyelash curler before applying mascara.FIRST Gently place curler at the base of upper lashes, so lashes fit in between the curler pads.THEN Press pads together firmly, count to five, and release. Repeat these steps on the other eye (but not your lower lashes).NEVER curl your eyelashes after youve applied mascara. Your lashes can stick to the curler pad and get pulled out. Ouch! Mascara: Never, ever pump the wand this adds air to the container, which will only make your mascara dry out faster.Use less mascara on lower lashes than on top lashes. Or skip the mascara on lower lashes for
