4 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc, July 19.1989 Lots for Kids to Do at Library Thanks to special activities activities under way at the Bow- manville Library this year, many kids will find their long, hot summer just a little little Bit shorter. With events that range from a spy school to a demonstration demonstration of snakes and reptiles, there are lots of things to keep youngsters amused and educated during during July and August. In addition, there are summer reading programs designed to ensure that youngsters eagerly devour books from the library's collection collection of titles recommended recommended mainly for kids between the ages of six and 12. Maria Politano, Community Community Services Librarian, explains explains that a grant from the government's SEED (Summer (Summer Employment Experience Experience Development) project enabled the library to hire a student who will work full time for the summer months. One of her jobs has been to create an extensive line-up of summer fun for younger library users. Louise Chatterton was hired by the library to fill the job of Summer Programs Assistant. She also is working working on the updating of the li- braiy's list of community facilities. facilities. In her role of preparing special summer events, she has worked on making posters, posters, getting supplies, and coming up with programming programming ideas in consultation with Jo-Ann Westerby, assistant assistant chief librarian. Her job has also included serving as a puppeteer and as the head spy, "Sneaky Pete", in the library's school for secret agents. Louise has just graduated graduated from grade 13 at Bow- manville High School and she will be studying sociolo- ' ih at ~ ' gy and Englis University. She's Trent considering considering a career as childen's librarian librarian among her options for the future. Maria Politano speaks highly of Louise's work, noting noting that the library couldn't possibly have offered this summer's events without her help. "We haven't been able to do as much programming in the summer until now," says Maria Politano. But, she notes that with the assistance assistance of the student employee, employee, it's become possible to develop the extensive line- ,up of summer events. For example, this week (July 19 ana 20), there's a spy school where youngsters can learn tricks such as secret secret codes or fingerprinting. Earlier programs included included magic and a puppet show. Future activities will include include a visit by a snake and reptile collector on July 27th. (Yes, he will be bringing bringing along a live boa constrictor, constrictor, iguanas and other species species from his collection.) During August, young library library patrons can look forward forward to an animation workshop, workshop, fairy tale fun, a puppet show, and movies. "So far, the response has been good," Ms. Politano adds. As of late last week, the spy school (for which advance advance registration was required) required) nnd been almost filled and an audience of about 120 attended the puppet puppet show on July 13th. The library ensures that each topic covered by a special special program is supported by books and other materials available in the building. For example, when the puppetry puppetry program is introduced, the audience is also reminded reminded of the fact that the stories portrayed on the puppet stage are also available on the bookshelves. Youngsters who learn about an interesting interesting topic in an afternoon at the library are encouraged to follow up their interest by reading a book. Kids are further encouraged encouraged to read and utilize the library through two summer reading projects also under way in July and August. One of these is called the "Eager Reader Program". It's not exactly new to the library, library, having been in operation operation for several years. It is designed for the student who is needs additional practice -- students who are usually recommended by teachers. In the Eager Reader Reader Program, a student in grade one, two or three is matched with a volunteer from grade six or higher. The older student helps the younger student for a six-week stint. And, although although they are not teaching teaching reading skills, they are helping another student to gain valuable practice. Approximately Approximately 10 pairs consisting consisting of a student and volunteer volunteer are participating this summer. The second of the reading programs is entitled "Munch a Book". As one might guess from the title, food is the theme of this reading project which encourages youngsters youngsters to devour books all summer. Participants receive a "menu" listing the books available and they record their membership in this club with their name and age on a hamburger cut-out. The number of books read is recorded on each partici-. pant's cut-out of an ice cream cone. The books featured in the Munch a Book program are food-related or have terminology terminology related to foods in A Superb Deep Cleaning Package from Beam! Don't lug a vacuum.

Thus far, the Bowmanville Bowmanville Library's summer programs programs have proven themselves themselves highly successful. And it's not too late to participate participate in the remaining events. "We're very pleased with how things are going," Ms. Politano said. St. Marys Expands Dock From Page One which operate on a 24 hour basis at St. Marys. David Ashcroft said he has "endured "endured three years of constant dust and noise and dangerous traffic on Highway Highway 57." He also said that the current St. Marys dock has changed the water currents and eroded much of his land. Brian Patch agreed. "I've spent thousands of dollars and not inconsiderable inconsiderable time trying to defend myself; the waterline is trying to eat us." He also complained about "thousands of seagulls constantly bombarding our homes, our cars, and us." Because of coal stored at St. Marys, "when the. wind blows from the west our house turns black." St. Marys plans to increase its cement cement output from 2,000 to 5,000 tonnes per day. The expanded dock will allow for simultaneous loading or unloading of two maximum size cargo carriers and will provide additional storage space. Wilson Little, of St. Marys, told councillors that his company plans to. build a new conveyor and storage system system which will eliminate the use of trucks to transport their product to the dock. The new conveyors will be covered. Mr. Little stated that the new system of covered conveyors will cut down on dust and noise. "We believe the proposal is environmentally superior superior to our current situation," he said. Mayor Hubbard scolded Mr. Little for not initiating more discussion, with the town over such a major decision. "It seems to me that you're way down the road before there has been much communication," she said. The entire matter was returned to town staff for further review. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER?
