Crafty Creations |
|
 One of the best aspects of Crafty Creations is that there is never any cost to participants, but would the term "two for the price of one" stilll apply?Either way, September's Crafty Creations features two related crafts. Each participant at this month's gatherings will have the opportunity to decorate an enamel camping mug and make loose leaf tea bags to go with the mug. Creative adults are invited to attend the afternoon session at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 10, or the evening session at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 30. Registration is required for the evening session. Just stop by or call the library at 937.783.3585 by Sept. 26 to register. Crafty Creations is always free, and supplies — and instruction — will be provided. |

September title:
The Essay
by Robin Yocum Jimmy Lee Hickam grew up along Red Dog Road, a dead-end strip of gravel and mud buried deep in the bowels of Appalachian Ohio. It is the poorest road, in the poorest county, in the poorest region of the state. To make things worse, the name Hickam is synonymous with trouble. An inspiring coach and Jimmy Lee's ability to play football are the only things motivating him to return for his junior year of high school — until his visionary English teacher cuts him a break and preserves his eligibility for the coming football season. |
