PAGE 4 THE DALLAS POST Sunday, January 15, 2012 Placemats on exhibit at Back Min. library The Back Mountain Memorial Library is beginning the new year with a new and different type of exhibit on the library’s Art Wall - a collection of homemade holiday placemats designed and crafted by Phyllis Bullock, of Dallas. After visiting a friend’s home about 20 years ago, Bullock ad- mired her unusual collection of placemats made by recycling Christmas, birthday and other holiday greeting cards. She imme- diately asked her friend to share the secret design with her and has been crafting the placemats ever since. “The cards are too pretty to throw out,” Bullock explained. Her collection of cards has now “grown” into a self-made filing system. “I sort them according to category i.e. snowmen, church scenes, angels, teddy bears, etc.,” she said. Then, she carefully cuts the cards into circular shapes ready to adhere to poster board. She has received many compliments on her placemats, but she humbly adds that “we also use them to eat off, too.” New books make way to library shelves The following new books have been added to the shelves at the Back Mountain Memorial Library, 96 Huntsville Rd., Dal- las, for the month of January 2012: EXPRESS “Locked On” by Tom Clancy, “77 Shadow Street” by Dean R.

It is with a great sense of sad- ness that the library staff re- members one of the best (and busiest) of its board members, Fred Krohle, who passed away recently. Fred, as manager of the Slightly Read Bookshop, not only handled the daily oper- ations of the Bookshop, he was also frequently found “back in PSU-WB students will participate in competition A four-student team from the Penn State Wilkes-Barre Busi- ness Department will travel to State College in the latter part of March to compete in the Second Annual Smeal College of Business Case Competition presented by Kohls.
