Reading babies: Burris children learn early at home
Dr Block criticizes early reading while Michaele Burris and others defend it. Five Burris children read at or above a third grade level before kindergarten, and Lilly may begin before age one using How to Teach Your Baby to Read. Proponents cite joy, self esteem, and stronger parent child bonds as benefits.

Seedling Mile and Linn County Road Drive to All Weather Roads
Linn County began paving to create an all weather road network after the seedling mile opened in 1919. A 1923-24 committee led to a bond issue of 2.33 million dollars, funding 220 miles of gravel and crushed rock roads, with U.S. 30 paving finishing in 1925 and the Mount Vernon area connected to Cedar Rapids by 1953.
