Page 18 When Randy Jacobs cruised across the finish line ‘of the Gibbons 100. atop his Schwinn Super Sport one day last month, he became the youngest par- ticipant to complete the grueling 100 mile bicycle tour through Wyoming Valley. For his efforts, Randy received a victory mug from the Wyoming Valley Bicycle Club satisfaction of having done a difficult job well And it was difficult. Randy is convinced that the distance trom Shickshinny to Sweet Valley is all uphill, as is the route through Falls and Ran- som. Starting out at 7 a.m. from Wilkes-Barre, Randy and the other contestants traveled through Shickshinny, Sweet Valley,. Huntsville, Cen- termoreland, Falls, Ransom, Pittston, Exeter, Wyoming, Kingston and finally, Wilkes- Barre. The young Dallas lad finished the tour at ap- proximately 6:15 p.m., with ‘10 or 11 stops for cookies and water along the way.” To prepare for the day-long stint, Randy had practiced on his new 10-speed Super Sport “for a couple of miles a day’ for two weeks. The Gibbons 100 was his first competition. An eighth grade student at Wyoming Seminary Day School, Randy is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Irvin Jacobs. In ad- dition to his interest in cycling, Randy is also a photography buff and keeps in shape by playing a rugged game of soccer.

Postupack, Proprietor And the Fishies Swam All Over That Dam! Fishes that Travel by Alan Mark Fletcher is a book written by a man who has made 10 expeditions into the South American jungle to study fishes and to gather materials for his writings. Do fishes travel about only in water? Usually, but not always. One kind, the butterfly fish, can move about in the air. And the mudskipper can travel on land. Why there are even fishes that hitchhike on the bodies of other fishes! There are some fishes, such as the common eel and salmon, which travel long distances to lay their eggs. And there are fishes, such as mackerel and tuna that swim after schools of smaller fishes in search of food.All of these and many others in this book have intriguing and strangely dif- ferent ways of traveling. All of them help to make Fishes That Travel very exciting reading. Another new book added to the collection in the Children’s Annex of the Back Mountain Memorial Library is by Herbert H. Wong and Matthew F. Vessel titled Pond Life: Watching Animals Find Food. Two boys on a fishing trip discover that a pond is more than just a body of water in which fish live. By simple observation, the boys cannot help but notice the kind of animals that; live in this . hawk diving aftge; prey, they begin to learn hol animals get their food and their different food preferences. Right there, in and around the pond, they can see that some animals eat plants, others eat animals, and still others eat both. Soon they understand what food chains are and how they work, from the lowly detritus of the pond bottom to the fat sunfish they will have for dinner. It is then the boys realize that they and all other humans are part of ‘a food chain, too. This book serves to introduce fundamental concepts in en- vironmental edition. It is designed to bring dne ecology of our environment close to the concern and conduct of children. ; f——————— New in the neighborhood? | Lake-Lehman Its not ali#ad by Irene Cheponis The Lake-Lehman Knights were victorious in an unpre- . dicted 6-0 defeat of the Coughlin Crusaders.
