PAGE8 THE POST COMMUNITY/SCHOOL Sunday, October 14, 2007 WALKING Continued from Page 1 well. “We've become a society where there’s so much technology and they're not outside like they were .in the past,” Arnaud said of school-aged children. But Ar- naud, who has been teaching at Wyecallis for six years after previ- ously teaching at the Dallas Mid- dle School, does not think obes- ity is as much of an epidemic in the Back Mountain. Arnaud cred- its this to good children’s athletic programs and physical activities for children in the area. Steps in the Dallas School Dis- trict have been taken to ensure children eat healthy at school. There is no soda and snacks have to be baked and cannot contain more than a certain percentage of sugar. Only one sweet per child is allowed at parties. Other health-related activities have been planned for upcoming weeks at Wycallis. The Great PA Apple Crunch will be celebrated on October 24 when Arnaud will walk around the cafeteria during lunch time and give an apple to any student who has food from all five food groups on his or her plate. A health fair will be held on November 8 for students in grades four and five.

Take a break from the lake! ail CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Sandra Serhan, Harveys Lake, shows off a fireplace screen she bought at the Alderson Methodist Church flea market. TREASURES Continued from Page 1 Alderson United Methodist Church member Nancy Smith of Beaumont says in the 35 years she has belonged to the church, there have always been rummage sales each spring and fall. Satur- day, or Bag Day, typically attracts the same people from Friday who are looking for an even better deal. “We do very well,” Smith said. “It helps us to pay our bills and we send some of the money to missions.” St. Paul’s Lutheran Church al- so has a rummage sale each spring and fall. Connie Borchert, Margie Hislop, Dolores Leehan, and many other church members worked the sale last Friday. “We consider this part of the mission and ministry for us to of- fer people things at low prices,” the ladies said. The sale is orga- nized by the Dorkus Society, a la- —— dies’ auxiliary that does different projects to benefit the church. Shavertown resident Alberta Cook found two purses for her granddaughter, a red sports jack- et and four shirts. Once, Cook was in need of a new bathroom scale and found one at a rummage sale. Cook comes to every sale at the church to see familiar faces and help out the church, in which her daugh- ter is a parishioner. “You see different people - peo- ple you haven’t seen in years,” she said. June Newell of Dallas once came across a Longaberger bas- ket, a popular product line she collects, at a rummage sale. Nev: ell came to St. Paul’s sale to out of the house and see friends. “I just love to come to them,” said Rosalie Pretko of Dallas, who buys clothes for fabric be- cause she loves to sew. She also found a green dish for Christmas. Pretko donates items to the sale and goes to find different things and friendship. Lk If You Want Perfe ction...
