Kathy Newell has selected some of our “original boyz from the hood” who

have been or are a part of serving our community. She has taken their picture

and then done a special pencil drawing of 24 different men. All the men have

lived or now live in Starke and Pulaski Counties except one. The pictures will

be on display from June 4 - 15, 2012. The first three persons who get the most

correct answers will win a prize. There will be a “hint list” attached to each

picture to help you guess the correct answer. Winners’ names will be posted

on the Starke County Public Library website June 18th, and

announcements will possibly be on both WKVI and the Chamber of

Commerce websites around the same time. Be sure to take a look at our

display and enter your best guess. Kathy Newell, the

pencil drawing artist

BOOK REVIEW

by Sheila Erway

Reading this novel, “Home

Front,” by Kristen Hannah,

brought me to an awakening of

the commitment, struggle and

sorrow that our soldiers face.

You will read about the many

facets of military family life.

Those who embrace it, and those who don’t. There is a

high cost, the cost of leaving family for service to ones’

country, and the cost of those staying behind.

It is very well written. Have a good read! :)

BOOK REVIEW - By Diantha U.

Are you tired of seeing so much destruction and trouble in your life?

Terry was and he found the answer. His father was a drug addict, his

mother co-dependent and he had to marry at 17 only to go through a

rough divorce and hear the “roars” get louder in him. The answer he

found for himself also freed his dad from drugs and his mom from co

-dependency. Read this and you might get your answers in life too.

THE ART OF CALLIGRAPHY CLASS PRESENTED BY DENNIS VIAR

6 weeks every Thursday 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. - starting May 24th

Dennis Viar will be taking his new and experienced students further into the art of beautiful

writing. He will be teaching the basic characters of Black Lettering, as well as exploring

other types of Calligraphy. You will be using your creative imagination by combining two or

more of your artistic talents. The class will be learning why and how to add illumination to

their art projects. You will need to bring your own supplies because each student will be

choosing the medium they wish to work with in the class. You may choose to use India ink

with calligraphy ink pens, chisel point markers, watercolors, or acrylic paints. There is a

plethora of crafts that can be combined with calligraphy.

Be sure to bring the basic supplies that you will be working with to class: paints and

watercolors, drawing paper, a soft lead or #2 pencil will be used for sketching and layout

design. Mistakes happen, so bring a Pink Pearl Eraser, also a ruler, and small set of

watercolor brushes. The chisel point type brushes we will be using are 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2";

they will be used for lettering. Acrylic paints and paintbrushes can be used in the class and

they lend themselves well with watercoloring papers, wooden boards, glass, plaster plaques,

and wallpaper. Watercolor pencils or colored pencils can be used to do small lettering, fine

outlining, and accenting. Your project can be entirely done with colored pencils. Ball point

pocket ink pens now come in a multitude of permanent colors and they can be purchased at

many businesses here in town.

It is recommended you bring an apron to protect your clothing from the permanent inks,

watercolor and acrylic paints, and anything else that would damage your clothing.

Please note that there will be no class on June 21st.

conversation!

Our June book selection is The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman. Emily Pollifax has returned to her quiet, retired life in Brunswick, New Jersey. Her brief sojourn as a CIA courier was an exciting adventure to remember as she works at the hospital, speaks at the garden club, and attends church. She reads the newspaper one Sunday morning about a strange occurrence in Istanbul, Turkey. A woman is being sought after being kidnapped from the British Consulate.

Shortly after reading the story, her telephone rings. It is Mr. Carstairs at the CIA; she is needed for another courier job. To her astonished delight, she is swept off to Turkey within an hour. Her duty is to meet the same woman at a prearranged spot and hand over a passport and money to come to the United States.

Since this is only her second job for the CIA, Carstairs has yet to realize that when Emily Pollifax gets involved, jobs rarely go as simply as planned. It may not be her fault, but she soon finds herself having her passport taken by the Turkish police and detained until the mysterious woman is found. Then she has a body dumped in her lap. Soon she has to avoid the Turkish police, international spies, assassins, and anyone who is threatening the escape of the woman Mrs. Pollifax is supposed to rescue.

This is a fun, lighthearted, “cozy” mystery. Mrs. Pollifax has to use her common sense and a lot of luck to keep

hidden, complete the mission, and perhaps even stay alive. This is the second in the “Mrs. Pollifax” series.

Copies are available for check-out at the Circulation desk of the Henry F. Schricker Library in Knox,

after May 21st.


Ready, set, go! The fun is about to start. You can win this

handy tool and flashlight combination just by reading 6 books.

They can be fiction, non-fiction, audio, ILL books, e-books or

e-audio books. If you read 25 books to your children, that will

count as one adult book. All books must be checked out from

one of the Starke County Public Library locations.

The terrific tool/flashlight pictured here has 3 flat head and 3

Phillips head screwdrivers of various sizes that fit into a neat

compartment at the end of the flashlight. The name “Starke

County Public Library” is inscribed on the side and a pen clip

makes it easy to hook on your pocket. You will treasure this

prize.

Pack ‘er up with fun on the run! Teens will enjoy reading 5

hours or 5 books, whichever is best for them. When they

have completed this, they will receive a bag of their choice

in style and color.

So gear up for a fantastic summer of reading and traveling

to fun places with your new bag. Sign up will begin June 4

in the Children’s Department and each Branch location.

The children’s summer reading program starts Monday, June 4, 2012 and ends on

Saturday, July 28, 2012 at all four Starke County Libraries. Children will discover what

happens at night while everyone sleeps. This year’s theme for children is “Dream Big—

READ!”

There are two parts to the summer reading program: reading for prizes and the weekly

programs. Children, from birth through fifth grade, can receive prizes by reading by

themselves or having someone read to them. To receive a prize, a child can either read

ten books or read for five hours and then must fill out a reading log.

Besides reading, there will be weekly programs for children to attend. Infants will have programs on Tuesday

from 10:30 – 11:00 a.m. Toddler programs will be on Thursdays from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. Preschoolers can

attend either a 10:00 a.m. or a 1:00 p.m. program on Wednesdays, and elementary children will have programs

on Tuesday from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. Programs will include stories, games, songs, puppet shows, movies, food,

special guests, and crafts.

To register for the summer reading program, just stop by any Starke County Library. There is a lot going on so
