PAGE6 THE POST COMMUNITY Sunday, April 2, 2006 Baker to lead program about reading at library The Back Mountain Memo- rial Library will kick off its participation in the program “Pennsylvania one Book, Every Young Child” during National Library Week. Storyteller and musician Mary Baker will pre- sent a reading of “Inside Mouse, Outside Mouse” com- plete with puppets and a song at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 5 in the Children’s Room. Baker will also give a musical storytelling program for children ages pre- school through grade school. A “Traveling Trunk” filled with mouse-related puppets and games for young children will be available for hands-on cre- ative play. Children’s librarian Janet Bauman will distribute a paperback copy of the book and early literacy information to each family in attendance. Pennsylvania libraries, mu- seums and public television stations are joining forces to increase awareness among parents and the childhood care and education community of the need for literacy devel- opment. Using a “one book, one state” model, the yearlong pro- gram hopes to communicate how to development early liter- acy skills through interactive experiences with books and stories. Several copies of “Inside Mouse, Outside Mouse” will be available for patrons to borrow from the library throughout the year. Two copies will remain in the Children’s Room reference section for in-house reading. Bauman will visit the children who attend the Dallas and Lake-Lehman Head Start and Early Intervention programs later in the month to read the book, present a story time and speak with the teachers about early literacy.

As soon as I got into the car, I called my family that wasn’t there.” Novrocki said that mostly freshmen at Lake-Lehman qual- ified for states. He thinks they have their work cut out for them, but with their talents they might be able to pull it off. “We have to step it up and get first place this time for our docu- mentary at states,” said Erdman, a freshman. “Even if my group doesn’t make it to nationals, I think it was a good experience for me. I learned a lot about the different people that I worked with.” Students from Lake-Lehman who placed either 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the seven categories included: Elizabeth Sullivan (grade 12), William Wilson (grade 9), Ar- ianne Salla and Samantha Jo Hu- dak (grade 11), Richard Urban (grade 9), Kayla Fine (grade 9), Catherine Sullivan, Erdman and Marina Orrson (grade 9), Boyle, Bryan Poepperling and Michael Ryan (grade 9) and Molly phy (grade 9), Leslee Everc®: and Stephanie Ciehoski (grade 9). The top two finishes in each division at the state competition advances to the National History Day Contest in June at the Uni- versity of Maryland. “Overall it seemed like the tab- letop exhibits were weaker in general this year with the other schools,” Novrocki said. : ® | | | bs Over 20 Meatless Menu Items! ws ouse® ( Memorial Hwy, Trucksville 696-3580 oir FEAST ulun bry Wing Filing - 30¢ Wings All Bay! ory Wodnusde, FISHERY FEAST] $8 Private Party Room Available | VD) Z DGEWAY'S at IREM All You Can Eat Breakfast Buffet Only $5.95 Serving Every Sunday (Except Holidays) 8am until 1pm OPEN TO THE PUBLIC by ™, REM GOUNTRY GLUB 397 Country Club Road * Dallas, Pa 675-1134 Ext.231 Pi DELI & CATERING Catering for any occasion NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY CATERING NEEDS! - ; SMOKED fess HOMEMADE SALADS CHEESE & PRUNE ROLLS, OPEN! v4 BING A W EK 659 Memorial Highway ¢ Dallas ® 675-6139 Mon. - Sat. 9am- 9pm.
