The books featured this month focus on the spooky side of things. I can't imagine that's a surprise, since it is OCTOBER! This is the month when things go bump in the night. When our minds turn to the supernatural. So put on a sweater to keep out the chill, turn the lights down low, and curl up with the kids to share a ghoulishly good read. Happy Halloween!

Chapter Books
The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls
By Claire Legrand
Ages 10 and up
If I close my eyes, I can still feel my skin crawl. Creepy crawlers and really scary adults (that maybe aren't actually adults… or human!) and a spooky orphanage (complete with a caretaker) come together to create the wonderfully macabre tale. The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls is a prefect book for those looking for a ghoulish good read.
Victoria is the kind of girl who likes things to be just so. When people begin to go missing, only to return prettier, smarter, and strange, Victoria begins to get suspicious. When Lawrence, her best friend, goes missing, Victoria sets out to find him. Stopping at the local orphanage, The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls, to ask questions, Victoria meets the gracious and lovely Mrs. Cavendish. She is quite sure that this wonderful woman has the children's best interest in heart. That is until the children send her a message on a paper airplane. It reads "HELP US!" Does Mrs. Cavendish have Lawrence? Is Mrs. Cavendish responsible for all the strange occurrences in town? Is Mrs. Cavendish human? Victoria, ever the smart girl, matches wits with the evil (and really, really creepy) Mrs. Cavendish as she rushes to save Lawrence before it is too late.
Doll Bones
By Holly Black
There is a healthy demand for "scary books" in the children's department of most libraries, and once the kids have read all of the Alvin Schwartz, R.L. Stine, and Mary Downing Hahn it can cause a librarian to wrack his or her brain for suggestions.
This spooky story by Holly Black (of Spiderwick Chronicles fame) will help meet that demand. Three friends, Zack, Poppy, have played an elaborately plotted ongoing game with dolls and action figures for years, but they worry that now that they have turned 12 they'll be made fun of if their middle school peers find out. Then something very strange happens to Poppy. One of the dolls – a very old bone china toy they call "the Queen," starts to haunt her dreams, claiming to be made out of the bones and ash of a girl who died long ago. A girl who wants to be put to rest. Are ghosts real? Is Poppy lying to keep her friends in the game? When the three embark on a "quest" (to East Liverpool, Ohio, no less!) to try to find the Queen's grave, the adventure really begins. (Guest Reviewer: Lori Faust, Youth Services Manager and Librarian Extraordinaire (and no, I didn't say that because she is my boss…) )
Picture Books
Bone Dog
By Eric Rohmann
Ages 4-8
This bittersweet story about a boy and his dog tugs at the heart strings (and leg bones). Gus and Ella have been friends for a long time. Ella warns Gus that she is old and cannot live forever. But, she promises to always be with him. After she is gone, Gus reluctantly goes on with his life. For Halloween, he dresses as skeleton, and, after a while, wanders into a cemetery. Well, next thing he knows he's surrounded by skeletons that are none too happy to find a live boy amidst their Halloween frolicking. Here comes Ella, now a skeleton dog, to the rescue. Calling upon their other (live) dog friends, Gus and Ella dispatch with those skeletons right quick (remember: dogs love bones). I highly suggest this wonderful Halloween tale of friendship that lasts forever.
The Hungry Ghost of Rue Orleans
Written by Mary Quattlebaum
Illustrated by Patricia Castelao
Ages 4-7
First of all, the author's last name is Quattlebaum. That's just awesome. But, you know, not necessarily a reason to read a book. However, if you are looking for a very not scary ghost story, this is the story for you. Fred is a ghost who lives by himself in a rundown house at 28 Rue Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana. All is well until some live people, a father and his daughter, have the audacity to move in and turn his home into a restaurant. The nerve of some people. It's even more tragic when his attempt to scare the diners away is thought to be some sort of performance that the owners have staged. Of course, everyone makes up in the end (I already told you it was very not scary). The Hungry Ghost of Rue Orleans is a nice change of pace from the typical Halloween fare. I highly recommend getting yourself a beignet mix and whipping up some of your own Powdered Ghosts Puffs.
Frangoline and the Midnight Dream
Written by Clemency Pearce
Illustrated by Rebecca Elliott
Ages 3-7
Frangoline is the perfect angel… during the day. But come midnight, Frangoline dons her black cape and escapes out the window. Scared of nothing, she traipses through field and forest. The moon, her constant companion, warns her that she should be in bed, but she refuses. But, once she wakes the dead (scary only momentarily), she catches a ride on the moon to her own bed. Here, as the now friendly beasts and ghouls watch her drift off to sleep, she promises to be good…until tomorrow night! The rhyming text is fun to read aloud. But, for me, the real appeal comes from the illustrations. First drawn, and then scanned into a computer to have color, texture, and patterns added by manipulating photographs that she's taken, Elliot adds atmosphere and character to the story. The black bird in a cage that Frangoline carries around is my favorite character (though never once mentioned in the text). Frangoline and the Midnight Dream is a spooky romp not to be missed.

I hate to say it in front of the children, but school is starting. So, for this edition of Off the Shelf, we highlight some decidedly important skills when it comes to schooling.

First, what student doesn't know the importance of an encyclopedia?
The Encyclopedia of Me
By Karen Rivers
Ages 9 and up
This clever tween novel is told completely in encyclopedic form. Not just any encyclopedia, however: it is a reference book of Isadora, or "Tink," Aaron-Martin's life, and it is wonderful. From the very first entry ("Aa: Some kind of lava"), you can't help but be drawn into her first person narrative. She is a smart, realistic almost-teen with a distinctive voice and a sense of mostly good-natured sarcasm.
Tink's biracial family life revolves around her older autistic brother, Seb. To Tink, Seb is simply Seb, autism and all. She's rather sick of discussing Seb's syndrome, partially because to understand many events in Tink's life, one has to know about Seb's quirks. Despite this, Tink's encyclopedia revolves around her life, and how it changes in the months leading up to her thirteenth birthday: the new blue-haired boy next door, her up-and-down relationship with her oldest friend, Freddie Blue, her new hobby, skateboarding, and her increasing frustration at being called the "Peacekeeper" in her family, which she feels is ridiculous. She grows as a person in a very believable way throughout the book, and you root for her while she does. An excellent, and surprisingly funny, read. (review by Ms. Audrey)
Puzzle solving and word play save the day in this mystery (and in the classroom)
Hold Fast
by Blue Balliett
Ages 9 - 12
When her father disappears on his way home from his job at the Chicago Public Library, Early Pearl and her mom and brother find themselves plunged into a world of danger and despair. Forced to live in a city shelter after their apartment is broken into and destroyed, Early is determined to find out what happened to her dad AND to find a home for her family. A satisfying blend of puzzle, poetry, and word play, this is a smart mystery with heart. I'd recommend it to readers in grades 4 through 6 who like mysteries and realistic fiction. (review by Ms. Lori)
We so often forget the importance of just thinking and having ideas
Perfectly Percy
story and pictures by Paul Schmid
Ages 4 - 7
Percy is a porcupine whose absolutely favorite things are balloons. As I'm sure you can imagine, that can be a bit of a problem. Porcupines and balloons don't mix very well. After spending some time thinking, Percy has an IDEA! He discovers the perfect solution to his prickly problem. This companion book to Hugs from Pearl (also not to be missed!) was a great idea in and of itself!
When it comes to wisdom, I think Mr. Einstein may have said it best. "Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the life-long attempt to acquire it." – so sayeth Albert Einstein
written by Rodrigo Folgueira
illustrated by Poly Bernatene
Ages 3 - 7
The frogs don't know what to make of it when they discover a pig sitting on a rock. And then when he begins to "ribbit," well, all bets are off. What could this pig possibly be doing? What does he want from the frogs? Leave it to the wise old beetle to point out what everyone has missed. This simple tale of friendship and differences is great fun.
April: Poetry Month
It's April and that means it's Poetry Month. Personally, I love poetry. It's painting with words. It's playing with words. It's snapping a picture of a moment with words. It can devastate, it can make us laugh, and everything in between. For your reading pleasure, I present the following books of verse.
May B: A Novel
By Caroline Starr Rose
Age 8-12
Nary a word is out of place in this survival novel told in verse. May has been sent by her father to help out at another homestead until Christmas. But when the husband and wife go missing, May is left to fend for herself as winter sets in on the vast and empty prairie.
If you read reviews of May B, you'll find such words as "lyrical" and "immediate" and "spare," and they are all true. Though there is far more white space on the page than text, the free verse tells a dramatic and emotional story of courage. Rose also creates a true voice in May B, a young woman who behaves realistically (warts and all) in the face of such a terrifying circumstance. Don't be fooled by this quick read. It leaves you with much to ponder. This is writing you can savor.
One kvetch: I appreciate that Rose wanted to recognize that individuals have struggled with learning disabilities throughout history. But, personally, I felt it was unceremoniously shoehorned into this story, i.e. May B spends perhaps too much time thinking about her reading problems rather than dealing with the fact that she's stuck on the prairie by herself as winter sets in. Did I mention she is running out of food?
Follow Follow: A Book of Reverso Poems
Poems by Marilyn Singer
Illustrated by Josée Masse
Ages 6 and up
Allowing only for changes to punctuation and capitalization, Singer has created a style of poetry in which a poem can be read both from top to bottom and bottom to top. Each version of the poem tells a different side of the same story. Like her first reverso collection, Mirror Mirror, this collection focuses on the classic fairytales.
I am amazed by this collection of poetry. The amount of time it would take to find the correct wording baffles me. Follow Follow's poetry not only wows with its cleverness, but also manages to beautifully interpret the classic tales.
Outside Your Window: A First Book of Nature
Poems by Nicola Davies
Illustrated by Mark Hearld
Ages 5 and up
Written by award-winning author and biologist Nicola Davies, this gorgeously illustrated poetry book captures the sights and sounds of nature's seasons. Beautiful double page spreads of artwork - rendered in paper-cut collage - are a feast for the eyes and the poetry is "simply" fabulous for young ones. (Guest Reviewer: Maria Panozzo, children's librarian emeritus)
National Geographic Book of Animal Poetry: 200 Poems with Photographs That Squeak, Soar, and Roar!
Edited by J. Patrick Lewis
Over 200 animals are featured in this poetry book. From the big ones to the little ones to the quiet ones and the noisy ones, some are winged ones and some are water ones, and there are even some really strange ones! Children will love to see their favorite animals photographed in this book alongside wonderfully written poems about them. Featured poets include J. Patrick Lewis, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Rudyard Kipling, Jack Prelutsky, Robert Louis Stevenson, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and many more! A section in the back describes how to write the different types of animal poems in the book. (Guest Reviewer: Amanda Hoover)
It is award season in the land of children's books. I'm pleasantly pleased with this year's Newbery winner. I hadn't read it until after it won the award (I'll explain why in my review below). I'm a little less pleased with the Caldecott winner, though I can't deny it is a great book. I just think something else should have won. But, then again, I wasn't on the committee that selected it. In fact, I can't say I'd want to be on one of the award committees (at least for the foreseeable future). It would be an honor, but the amount of books that they have to read (which, by the way, is hundreds) is daunting (especially when you have a baby). Less well known, but just as wonderful, are the Sibert Award (to an informational book) and the Geisel Award (to a beginner reader). The Sibert Award went to Bomb: The Race to Build—and Steal—the World's Most Dangerous Weapon, written by Steve Sheinkin (it's checked out, so I haven't gotten to read this one yet.). Make sure to look up all the winners and honor books for all the awards at http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia. –Miss Amanda
The Newbery Medal winner for outstanding contribution to children's literature:
The One and Only Ivan
Written by Katherine Applegate
Ages 8-12
I purposely didn't read this book when it first came in here at the library. I don't like "talking animal" books. It's not my thing. And this book, which is about a gorilla and his elephant friend living at a roadside attraction, sounded awful to me. So, I pointedly ignored it. But, when it won the Newbery, I had to read it. And I'm so glad that I did. It's heartbreakingly beautiful and wondrously hopeful. It reminds us of the best and the worst qualities of humans. It reminds us of our responsibilities to the animals and world around us. It reminds us about the importance of the families we create, as well as the families that we are born with. At its center, The One and Only Ivan is a quiet story of the friendship Ivan, a gorilla, Stella, an elephant, and Bob, a stray dog. Ruby, a baby elephant, is brought to the roadside attraction in hopes of boosting business. Ruby awakens Ivan and Stella from their complacency. This is not a good home for anyone. Ivan must help Ruby before she's stuck like he has been for the last 27 years. I don't want to say anything else before you read it. But, once you do, feel free to stop by the children's department at Main. I'd love to talk about it.
The Caldecott Medal for the most distinguished American picture book for children:
This is Not My Hat
Illustrated and written by Jon Klassen
Ages 4-8
If you read I Want my Hat Back and loved it (and I know many of you did – and if you didn't, you should), you need to get your hand on a copy of this year's Caldecott Medal winner! This is Not My Hat features a small fish who has just stolen the hat of a much bigger fish. Classic Klassen hijinks ensue. (I have just discovered that I love to type "hijinks" – but that is neither here nor there.) Klassen's text and illustrations weave together perfectly to create this quirky and funny story.
Geisel Award for most distinguished beginning reader book:
Up, Tall, and High!
Written and illustrated by Ethan Long
Ages 1-6
Lift-the-flap elements and bright cartoony illustrations help to bring this simple concept beginning reader to great heights. Three goofy birds are having some fun with the three concepts in the title. The text is simple enough for beginning readers to read by themselves. But everyone (young and old) will laugh along with these birds. Highly suggested for those who love the Mo Willem's Elephant and Piggie Books.
Caldecott Honor Book
Sleep Like a Tiger
Written by Mary Logue and illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski
Sleep Like a Tiger is a wonderful bedtime book, particularly for those who are reluctant to go to bed (is there anyone who isn't?). I hope I remain as calm as these parents when my child gets old enough to verbalize his refusal to go to bed (now he just cries). But it is the illustrations that take the well-worn story and make it fresh and new. They are like images of a dream. Zagarenski's mixed media illustrations are magical, ethereal, and romantically quirky. I'm very glad it won a Caldecott Honor.
A Home for Bird
by Philip Stead
Like the Caldecott Winner, A Home for Bird weaves together words and illustrations to tell a story that each alone could not tell. Vernon is a toad that one day runs across Bird. Bird is quiet and thoughtful and lonely. Bird needs a home. Vernon is going to help him find it. What the reader knows and what Vernon does not realize is Bird is not a real bird. But, rather, he is a cuckoo that fell from his cuckoo clock on the back of a moving van. Vernon is an endearing fella who charms you from the beginning. Even Bird, still and silent, is loveable. It's definitely worth it to take the journey with these two as the look for Bird's home.
Tangle of Knots
by Lisa Graff
Tangle of Knots is set in a world where most people have a Talent, a specialized and magical skill. The story follows several characters whose lives become entangle (See title. Get it?). You'll also find, among other things, a luggage emporium, a special peanut butter recipe, and secrets galore. Fate, as usual, has a way of getting things all muddled up and then figuring itself out. And, you know Fate has a thing or two in store for these characters. A quiet and gentle read for those who like a touch of magic and a lot of sweetness.
At the halfway point, I find that Tangle of Knots is the kind of book that I am reading simply because I want to find out what happens next. I feel no particular connection to the characters. The world is interesting, and I like the characters. Yet I set it aside a week ago, and I haven't been interested enough to pick it back up again. I think I may just flip (…fast forward?… what do you call it on the Kindle?) to the end to see what happens. Perhaps I'm not in the mood for this book. If you read it, let me know what you think. I'll be in the children's department at Main.
We're starting off our year here at Off the Shelf with a guest reviewer, Miss Amanda H. Miss Amanda is a practicum student here at WTCPL. She's getting her Masters in Library and Information Science at Kent State to be a children's librarian. It looks like she's read some great books. I'm particularly interested in Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot. I hope you all have a happy new year with plenty of good reads! -Miss Amanda A.

Penguin and Pinecone share a special friendship in this book, a cozy winter tale to share with a good friend.
Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot
By Anna Branford; Illustrated by Sarah Davis

Violet is a very determined and loveable girl who uses this theory to get what she wants…the blue china bird from the Saturday Market. She comes up with not just a plan, but a brilliant plot to achieve this goal after she spots a small red button on the ground. As she thinks outside the box and uses ideas from her theory, Violet takes on new adventures and ideas and learns some valuable lessons along the way. The black and white pencil illustrations also help to tell the story. A great book to introduce creative thinking!

This book is filled with lots of historical photographs and facts and even information about what happened to the children after they moved out of the White House. Get ready for the re-ignauguration this year by reading this book!
Christmas Wombat
by Jackie French; illustrated by Bruce Whatley
The loveable wombat from Diary of a Wombat is back again, and this time he has stumbled upon Christmas. Literally. He stumbles upon first one and then another plate of his favorite food. Carrots! But these strange creatures with antlers keep trying to take them. Our friendly wombat inadvertently rides along with Santa as he follows these creatures to their carrots. My most favorite page: when the wombat stares down a rather confused reindeer.
The Christmas Quiet Book
by Deborah Underwood; illustrated by Renata Liwska
I love this book. And it had a lot to overcome. First of all, once again, we have a Christmas version of a series of beloved picture books (i.e. The Quiet Book and The Loud Book). These don't always work out well (for instance, I love Pete the Cat, but, personally, I think Pete the Cat Saves Christmas just doesn't live up to the grooviness of the other Pete the Cat books). Often these Xmas spinoffs just make you feel like someone is just trying to make money. Secondly, I am very leery of "cute" things. I hate schmaltzy and cheesy books. And at first glance The Christmas Quiet Book looks like it could be really too cute. But, I'm happy to report, this book is neither money grubbing (…well, maybe it is, but it's worth my money) nor cutesy. It's a think-outside-the-box, snuggle-under-a-blanket-type of warm and cozy ode to the quiet moments of the busy Christmastime season. My most favorite quiet: "Lights on quiet" followed by "Blown fuse quiet." (I laughed out loud!)
Santa from Cincinnati
by Judi Barrett; illustrated by Kevin Hawkes
Even those not from Ohio are going to love this book. It has that nostalgic old-timey feel that is just perfect for this time of year. It tells the life story of Santa Claus, starting with his birth and childhood in Cincinnati and continuing through college, marriage, and so on. Throughout the book, of course, are his love of toys and toy building. And, if you pay attention closely, you may glimpse Santa's magic that permeates his life. My favorite Santa tidbit: The Claus's got their son's name from a bowl of alphabet soup. My favorite thing about this book: The photographs with captions.
A Christmas Tree for Pyn
by Olivier Dunrea
Ages 5-9
Lastly, I need to mention my favorite new Christmas book from last year. This is the gentle and heartwarming story of a daughter and her gruff father (who insists Pyn call him by his name, Oother). They live in a cabin in the woods (at an unspecified time which I assume to be in the past). Pyn cooks over the hearth. Oother bundles up in furs and takes his axe when he sets out to work for the day. Pyn wants a Christmas tree, but Oother doesn't. (You realize, though it is not made explicit, that Pyn's mother has passed away, and Oother still mourns. This is deftly handled and, I believe, most children wouldn't even blink an eye at it. It is not central to the story, but it adds a depth to the characters and to the plot that is a mark of skilled storytelling.) This little family comes together because of Pyn's spunky attitude and the simple, quiet power of the Christmas tree. This is the book to read with your children when all the Christmas consumerism gets to you. My favorite part: When Pyn goes to her trunk and pulls out all the items from nature that she has saved all year to use when she decorates her tree.
Dreams Around the World
by Takashi Owaki
Owaki is a photographer from Japan who traveled to 55 countries in 3 years. For this book, he has collected photographs of children around the world and their dreams for their futures. From the boy in Uganda who dreams of driving a matatu (mini-bus) to the girl from the Philippines who dreams of being a doctor to the boy from Argentina who dreams of owning a gelato shop (so he can be close to his favorite treat, of course!), this is a wonderful look at the children around the world, a look at both the things that make us the same and the things that make us different. Above all, it is a celebration of children. Share this with your young ones to give them a sense of the world and to incite conversation about their dreams. My favorite part: That Owaki does not go to any special lengths to make the children look like they come from a particular culture. (Due to the outdated and stereotypical photographs I saw in school, I spent a part of my childhood wondering why kids in Germany were always forced to wear lederhosen instead of normal pants… Couldn't anyone send them some?)
Jonathan & Martha
by Petr Horáček
Ages 3-6
This is the simple story of two worms who, unbeknownst to the other, start eating from different sides of the same pear and end up in a tangle. This simply told story of friendship and sharing is accompanied by wonderful illustration and die-cuts. The pages are sturdy for the clumsy fingers of little ones. I must be in the mood for sweet stories, because this little ditty is charming and adorable (without becoming sentimental or cutesy). My favorite part: The end. I didn't expect it in a kid's book. That's all I'll say.
by Matthew J. Kirby
To a fortress between a mountain and the frozen sea, Solveig is sent with her older sister, the beautiful Asa, and her younger brother, the future king Harald, to hide as their father, a Norse king, goes to war. When her father's skald (storyteller/historian) and personal guard of berserkers arrive unexpectedly, things go from bad to worse. Aside from the cramped quarters, terrible winter weather, and dwindling food, someone among them is plotting against the king's children and their caretakers. Solveig must determine who she can trust as she struggles to survive the bitter winter before the traitor destroys her family. A 2012 Edgar Award Winner for Best Juvenile Mystery.
Things to love:
Solveig is the kind of character any self-respecting, dorky, female bookworm will love. If you're a middle-child, well, she's a homerun. Plagued by self-doubt, Solveig can, at times, get annoying with her hemming and hawing. However, she slowly comes to find her place in her family and in the world. It's a much stronger position than she ever expected. Solveig's relationship with the leader of warrior berserkers is also a heartwarming highlight.
Say historical fiction, and I automatically think of WW2 or little orphans running around in knickers and selling newspapers ("Ten cents! Ten Cents! All the news fit to print, sir!"). I know, as a librarian that's a terrible thing to say, and I do like and read historical fiction of other time periods, but it is honestly the first thing that I think. Icefall is a wonderful change from the historical fiction routine, and I can't wait to give it to the next kid who comes in looking for historical fiction. I love the view of the Viking world that isn't about war and fighting. Here we see those left behind during all that Viking warfare. With the addition of the mystery, this is one historical fiction that keeps you up at night wanting to see what happens next.
The Lonely Book
by Kate Bernheimer; illustrated by Chris Sheban
Ages 5 -8
Here's another book for the young book lovers out there. This is the gentle story of a book at a library. Beloved by many children when it is new, but, as it grows older, less and less children take it home. All but forgotten, the book is taken home by a young girl named Alice. Alice loves the book. She often checks the book out, but she forgets it one day. Through some unforeseen events, the book ends up in the library's book sale. Just when it all seems lost and the lonely book will be alone forever, we are given the happy ending we hoped for. The beautiful soft illustrations rendered in watercolors and colored pencils add to the timeless, gentle quality of the book.
Don't Squish the Sasquatch
by Kent Redeker ; illustrated by Bob Staake
Ages 4-6
This is the perfect story for any child that likes their stories silly and the characters far from the norm. While the first two books in this edition of Off the Shelf were quiet, this book is LOUD. Sasquatch is taking the bus, and he really doesn't want to be squished. But, as more and more creatures get on the bus, Sasquatch is running out of room. What happens when you squish a sasquatch? Read this book and find out! The zany illustrations filled with out-of-this-world creatures add to the ruckus and fun-filled quality of this book. Highly recommended!!
Series: Gossie and Friends by Olivier Dunrea
Ages 2 - 6
If you don't know Gossie and her friends, you have to meet them! These cute little books and these darling little gosling characters are well loved in my home (and, for the record, I don't say "cute" or "darling" lightly). The stories are very simple, perfect for young children. Gossie, Gertie, Gideon, and the rest of their farmyard friends have an unassuming way of putting a smile on your face. These stories focus on the simple things in a child's life, such as sleeping, eating, friendship, and, of course, listening to Mama. Gideon and Otto is a personal favorite. This is the simple story of a gosling and his stuffed friend, Otto the Octopus. (I wish I could find a stuffed Otto for myself!!)

text:
Tracheomalacia is a congenital or acquired condition in which the tracheal airway is flaccid or floppy, which can lead to respiratory problems.
Diagnosis and Testing
Tracheomalacia is usually diagnosed by endoscopy, a procedure in which a small scope is passed into the airway while the patient is spontaneously breathing.
Most patients with tracheomalacia are asymptomatic and do not require treatment. Some may only become symptomatic during upper and lower respiratory tract infections.
However, some children with tracheomalacia have greater frequency and severity of respiratory infections. Bronchodilators, commonly used to treat children with cough and wheezing, may exacerbate tracheomalacia. In such cases, medical or surgical treatment is considered.
Treatment for tracheomalacia is based on symptoms. To control reflux symptoms, the physician may prescribe medications that work directly to control reflux. For respiratory complications, sometimes adjustments in positioning can help, or your physician may suggest the use of devices to keep the airway open during sleep, such as CPAP and BIPAP.
Surgical management is necessary only when symptoms are not controlled by medical management and cause life-threatening events, recurrent pneumonias or intermittent respiratory obstruction.
For more information about tracheomalacia, please speak with your child's physician.

By Eleanor Bailey
Brendan Price
When Canon-McMillan clinched a second straight state championship in wrestling this past weekend, Chris Mary experienced the afterlife.
"I'm standing at the gates of heaven. Taking it all in," he said exuberant. "My joy is incredible. It's been an amazing, amazing journey."
Never has Mary or the Big Macs experienced such exhilaration as when Brendan Price edged Zach Elvin, 4-3, in the final bout of the PIAA Class AAA team championship match, giving Canon-McMillan a dramatic victory, 34-31, over Central Dauphin at the Giant Center in Hershey.
"This is one of the best days of my entire life," said Mary. "This one brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart."
Before taking to the mat, a lump formed in Price's throat. Twice, he had battled Elvin, suffering losses of 8-5 in last year's state semifinals of the team tournament and 13-2 during this winter's Powerade Wrestling Tournament.
"I was really nervous because I knew this would be a close match," said Price. "But then I thought this would be a good opportunity. He was ranked second in the state and I got excited. My teammates were great. They told me they would support me, that they would still love me no matter what."
Today, the Big Macs love the 126-pound grappler even more, particular for his grit and his determination.
"(Brendan) showed so much confidence in his approach to the match especially under the circumstances," Mary said. "He just felt the chemistry of the people backing him. He felt the love of his coaches, his teammates and fans. That inspired him."
Price immediately jumped ahead of Elvin, 2-0. Though Elvin tied the bout, Price again opened up a two-point advantage before settling on the one-point decision.
"Brendan's truly a gifted wrestler. He took it to the next level," said Mary of the bout. "When you get to watch the replay, you can see in Brendan the determination and confidence. He was destined to win for his teammates."
Destiny drove the Big Macs.
"The ultimate goal was to win a state championship," explained Mary. Then he added of the Big Macs' toil in the mat and weight rooms over the years.
"No one understands the preparation we put into this and what we accomplish behind closed doors."
Yet, the results reflect the effort.
With the win, they finished a 19-0 dual meet season. The Big Macs are undefeated in two seasons, posting a 45-0 record. And, in winning four straight WPIAL titles, they have not dropped a dual meet in the district since 2009.
But, the triumph surpassed any other victory along the way. It topped the Big Macs' win over Central Dauphin, 28-25, in last year's state semifinal as well as their win over Erie McDowell in the 2012 championship match.
"This is the biggest sports moment in Canon-McMillan history," Mary declared. "The greatest moment ever."
Because it came in the last match, Price's performance proved the most thrilling. However, there were many great moments in the championship match as well as throughout the tournament for the Big Macs.
In the finals, Central Dauphin led, 31-19, before the Canon-Mac rallied. At heavyweight, Angelo Broglia pinned Mike Ferstern to tie the match at 31. Also, Alex Campbell recorded a fall over Deitrik Ferster at 220 and Cody Wiercioch posted a technical fall, 19-4, over Steven McNeal at 182 to help the Big Macs erase the deficit.
CM constructed a 14-4 lead thanks to a pin by Dalton Macri, a tech fall from Connor Schram and a decision at 132 by Alex Hutchin before Central Dauphin chipped away at the margin.
Though Central Dauphin forged a 17-14 advantage, the margin was not greater because the Big Macs did not surrender many bonus points. While Austin Rose scored a major decision against William Pihou at 152 and Nick Konyk fell at 160, Josh Minor, Nick Oberhaus and Sam Minor kept their losses to a minimum.
"There were heroes all over the place," said Mary. "So many people played a part. Huge roles," he continued. "There were multiple heroes. This was a total, total team effort," he emphasized.
With more than just wins in all their bouts, Wiercioch and Schram provided the leadership for the Big Macs, who wrestled without two key starters.
A 145-pound junior, Solomon Chishko was out with a fractured elbow that has not completely healed since he sustained the injury in a preseason tournament three months ago. Chishko was a third-place finisher in the individual state tournament last year. A 138-pound junior Malachi Krenzelak has missed the past month with an injury.
A Pitt recruit, Wiercioch picked up pins in CM's opening tournament wins over Spring Grove, 42-22, Erie McDowell, 35-27, and Easton, 37-35, before recording a technical fall against Central Dauphin in the championship match. Bound for Stanford in the fall, Schram posted technical falls in all of CM's tournament triumphs.
"Cody and Connor are examples to every one on the mats," said Mary. "They set the bar so high for the other kids. They leave it all on the mat."
In the tournament, Dalton Macri also left it all on the mat. At one point, he even fell ill during a match. "He was so riddled with flu that we had him isolated in his own room for the four days," explained Mary of Macri's illness. "That's how much character is on this team. These kids gave there all.
"They truly left their blood, sweat, guts and tears on the Giant Center floor," Mary said. "They have so much heart and soul."
Notes: Josiah Hritsko, Steven LaFrance, Richard Vicinski, Alex Paulina and Alex Rideout also contributed to the Big Macs' state championship run as did Mary's assistant coaches Jason Cardillo, Pat Hudock and Glenn Haynes.

Lake Stevens girls stifle Eagles in 55-41 win
Vikings hold Arlington to only one 3-pointer in key 4A North victory
Apparently it stuck.
After allowing Arlington to bomb away from behind the arc with impunity in their first matchup -- a 77-51 loss in which the Eagles hit 16 3-pointers -- the Vikings held Arlington to only one 3-pointer Friday night in a 55-41 win that kept Lake Stevens' slim hopes for a Wesco 4A North title alive and gave them the inside track for the No. 2 seed.
"I told them turn those 16 3s into twos," Edens said. "I'd rather see us go chasing and make them put it on the floor than give them an open look. (Their 3-point shooting) was certainly a topic of discussion at yesterday's practice."
Lake Stevens' Brittney Pahukoa led all scorers with 14 points, but the senior guard did more than just score to contribute to the win. Besides handling the ball for much of the game and running her team's offense, Pahukoa grabbed 10 rebounds and had four steals.
"I think honestly at times we take her for granted what she does," Edens said. "She does so much. If you ask her to get double-digit in rebounds she'll do that. If you ask her to score she'll do that. She was spectacular."
It was the second game back for Brittney's sister, Brooke, who missed more than a month with a finger injury. Brooke scored 13 points and had two steals in a key stretch to open the second half that saw Lake Stevens outscore Arlington 10-0.
Edens said he was happy to see Brooke mix it up a little more than in her first game back this past Wednesday. "Wednesday she wasn't quite there yet," Edens said. "Today she put it on the floor and made some medium-range shots. She even got on the floor after a ball ... even though I was like 'No, not you.' "
There was a scary moment for Vikings fans late in the third quarter when Brooke was kicked in the shin and hobbled to the bench in obvious pain. Less than a minute later Brittney was poked in the eye just before the buzzer ending the third quarter. Both players returned to the game to start the fourth qurater.
Jessica Ludwig led Arlington with 12 points and Veronica Ladines had nine rebounds for the Eagles, who played without Lindsay Brown. The star post was still ailing from a sprained knee she suffered in Saturday's game against Stanwood.
At Lake Stevens H.S.
Arlington 7 12 11 11 -- 41
Lake Stevens 8 16 19 10 -- 55
Arlington--Taylor Graham 0, Veronica Ladines 6, Krista Showalter 2, Emma Janousek 8, Jessica Ludwig 12, Winter Brown 3, Jayla Russ 8, Lyndsay Leatherman 2. Lake Stevens--Alex Briggs 6, Mallory Gipson 2, Chelsea Pahls 2, Cassidy Fifield 2, Brittney Pahukoa 14, Emily Vandegrift 2, Brooke Pahukoa 13, Kali Long 12. 3-point goals--Brittney Pahukoa 1, Brown 1. Records--Arlington 10-2 league, 15-3 overall. Lake Stevens 8-4, 12-6.

|Case Study: How Graduate Medical Education Has Made a Difference for One All Children's Family
Tommy Loope is like most active, healthy 5-year-old boys - perhaps even more so. He's a member of a Clearwater area swim team, plays organized soccer and finds time for T-ball, too.
But his parents, Peter and Amy Loope, know that their thriving son might not be alive today if the state had not funded an expansion of the Florida Newborn Screening program several years before he was born.
As a result, doctors at All Children's Hospital were immediately able to detect that Tommy had a rare condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) - a cluster of inherited disorders of the adrenal gland that left him unable to produce the the vital hormone cortisol. With the diagnosis made when he was only days old, due to the additional tests made possible, Tommy began a critical treatment regimen that likely saved his life.
"Quite candidly, had we not had that Newborn Screening Test, Tommy probably wouldn't be with us today," says his father. "We were lucky to catch it."
Yet that's not the only crucial state medical funding that makes the Loopes feel fortunate today. Their son has benefitted profoundly from funding of the Graduate Medical Education (GME) program, allowing for continuity of care for Tommy with a doctor who saw first saw him as a pediatric endocrine fellow at the University of South Florida, and now as head of the endocrinology program at All Children's.
She is Pallavi Iyer, M.D. - the only physician the Loopes will need for Tommy through his early 20s, thanks to the GME funding that allowed Dr. Iyer to come into their lives during fellowship.
"What Tommy had was pretty rare - one in about 18,000 kids have it," Peter says. "And we met Dr. Iyer on Day One in the emergency room at All Children's, where we got our diagnosis. She was a fellow, working with the senior attending physician at USF at the time, Dr. Dorothy Shulman. And she's been part of the team that's guided us through this from the very beginning."
When Dr. Iyer became an attending, the Loopes had a big decision to make: Whether to stay with a senior attending doctor, or go with a less experienced junior faculty member with a bright future - a person they had come to know and trust.
"We decided it was important for Tommy to have a continuum of care over the next 15 or 20 years, and that's one of the reasons we chose Dr. Iyer," Peter explains. "We'd already developed a good relationship with her. As a fellow, you're a little freer to be patient-centric, which she was with us. Dr. Iyer was really able to help us through that early six-to-eight-month window when we were still figuring out what his condition was."
And she has continued to help the Loopes ever since, illustrating the vital importance of GME funding and its immeasurable impact on children with chronic illnesses in need of the best care possible.
"It's hard enough for a family to feel that their child has a condition that may be life long," Dr. Iyer says. "But over time, and with a physician you can trust and build a relationship with, it makes a world of difference. That's not only for the families to feel comfortable asking questions, but also for the child to see the same person over and over again."
"If you can have residencies and fellowships where you can start building those relationships - especially if you can keep them until the physicians can become full attending physicians - that's even better. The Loopes have been a great family to work with. And over time, I've learned from them just as much as they probably have learned from me."

Southwest fans like to reflect on their school winning state 2-A titles in 2000, 2003 and 2004.
And why not? Those Stallions teams were really good and deserving of a state title, and they beat some talented squads.
Even the 1999 team that advanced to the state final for the first time in school history gets plenty of love for being the program that showed that Southwest could hold its own among the state's best.
But like that team, the 2009 Stallions also lost in the title game, falling 45-21 to Albemarle in the 1-AA final in Winston-Salem.
Southwest coach Phil Padgett was asked if he still has a bitter taste in his mouth about that defeat, a loss that saw the Stallions never recover after falling behind early.
"No bitter taste, but I'm just disappointed because I think what could I have done different to prepare the team," Padgett said. "I just feel like we were so dominant in the East, but we did something wrong (in the final). What did I do wrong?"
Around the horn
This marks Southwest's sixth trip to the finals — the Stallions are 3-2 — with the title game against Swain County marking the second time the team has played at Carter-Finley Stadium at N.C. State University.
The Stallions' last time in Raleigh was in 2003 when Southwest beat Burlington Cummings 20-14 in the 2-A final. Southwest also played at the University of North Carolina in 1999 and 2000, Duke in 2004 and Wake Forest in 2009.
"The best thing is that it's only two hours," Padgett said of the distance between N.C. State and Jacksonville.
Football and futbol
Southwest senior kicker Nick Matics has a full plate this season.
Not only has he been kicking for the Stallions' football team, he was also the starting goalkeeper for Southwest's state championship soccer team. Matics was the most valuable player of the soccer final.
He said it was tough balancing both soccer and football this fall.
"It has been, trying to make both teams happy, but I feel I did a pretty good job so far," Matics said.
Matics already has experience playing in a state final, however, he said he hasn't been the one to give the football players advice on how to handle a championship game.
"I think Shak Pershey and JeVonte' Taylor have been telling everyone about it since they were freshmen and got moved up when they (football team) went to the state championship game in 2009," Matics said.
Meet the Maroon Devils
Swain County coach Neil Blankenship couldn't say enough about his team's four best offensive players — quarterback Raymius Smith, receivers Matthew Maennie and Greg Tisho and running back Garrett Lane.
"Our quarterback has done a great job of running our team, making good decisions and handling what teams give us," Blankenship said. "Matthew is a phenomenal player and an all-around athlete and he's scored in so many ways for us. Greg is a big ol' receiver who does just what you ask him to do. Lane is a great kid and a great student and he runs so hard."
Padgett came just short of saying "Thank goodness it's Friday" when talking about his team.
He said the Stallions have performed better under the Friday night lights than during afternoon practices throughout the week.
"I'll be honest with you, our team probably plays harder on Friday than Monday through Thursday," Padgett said. "On Friday night we really play hard and have stepped it up."
Padgett will just have to wait and see how his team responds in the final since it will be played on Saturday.
"It gives us a little more time to prep," he said.
Air Padgett
Known for its strong running game, Southwest over the recent years has shown an ability to throw the ball, particularly this season.
Quarterback Shak Pershey has 1,128 yards passing and 13 touchdowns this season.
"We've thrown the ball more than we usually do, but with that being said, Shak has done a good job throwing the football, even though we haven't hard to throw it a whole lot," Padgett said. "We're a running football team and we've always been a running football team. That's kind of what our MO has been since I've been here. I just believe in a strong running game."
Stampeding Stallions
And because of SWO's running game, Padgett feels as if the Stallions are a good mascot for his school.
"We are called the Stallions and that's probably a good name because we love to run," he said. "We are going to run the football. It's what we do and what our program is about. The kids have bought into it and it's paid off at this point."
More titles
Since joining the 1-A classification in 2009, Southwest has captured two state titles and made three final trips in girls' soccer, won a state title in boys' soccer this fall and saw its girls' basketball team advance to a state title game.
The only thing missing it appears is a state football title. Perhaps that motivates the football team even more.
"I'm just excited for our football program, but I'm also excited for our athletic program because we've had such a great fall," said Padgett, who is also Southwest's athletic director. "I want us to win everything. Our coaches work so hard."
Other duties
Not only do Padgett and Blankenship have to coach their teams this week, they have still have perform their administration duties as their school's AD's.
And that includes a lot of responsibilities.
"What we are going to do as far as transportation and costs?" Padgett said of his duties. "There's a lot of things to pay for, that's my concern."
Meanwhile, Blankenship has had his phone ring many times since the Maroon Devils advanced to the final.
"We were meeting (in Greensboro) to exchange film on Saturday morning and I think I got like eight text messages from people asking me where we are staying and I didn't have a clue," he said. "You have to deal with all these questions. Your phone rings off the hook about this and that."
One league, 2 finals
Swain County is not the only team from the Smoky Mountain Conference playing for a state title this year. Murphy is in the 1-A final against Plymouth.
Murphy is in the final for the third consecutive year, having beaten Jones Senior 21-6 last year.
"Last year was the first year it happened," Blankenship said of Swain County and Murphy both advancing to the finals. "We were shocked and Murphy was too that they got that far last year. This year I think they expected to be here. Our conference is traditionally strong."

This somehow appeared on Package Control and can be installed now. Obviously it won't have any effect because there is just a README on that repo but how did it end up there? Did someone add it intentionally or was it just somehow "matched" (which I don't really believe)?
If it was intentional I'd like to hear why it was added.
(And if we can agree on a reason I don't see yet I might suggest adding a 'messages.json' with `{ "install": "README.md" }`.)

Comments about Troy Lee Designs Logo L/S T-Shirt:
This long sleeve shirt fills a couple of voids in your bike closet. If you are still rocking cotton on the hills, this shirt is burly enough to take a spill and keep you protected. I prefer to use it as a casual shirt around town. It's simple enough so you're not a walking billboard, and it's built tough to take what life gives it. Soft cotton makes it a go-to shirt when you just want to head out the door and not worry about what you're wearing.

Club competitions
National team competitions
France won the bronze medal in the 2004 U18 European Championship after beating Italy 74-68 in the game for 3rd place. France came really close to losing another game that seemed secured in its hands, but although Italy took the lead deep into the 4th quarter France had Johan Petro to save the day, and carry his team to a medal.
The first Semi-Final of this Championship lasted until the very last second before one team had made it into the Final brackets. France led for the majority of the game, despite a 10-0 opener by Turkey, and opened the last quarter with a 10 point lead of its own. However, Turkey stopped the French squad on no more than 7 points in the last quarter and with a great finish by Akyol and big center Savas took over the game and got the first ticket to the Final.
The first quarter-final saw a match-up between Israel and France. The Israelis came from the top of Group B, following a big push after 2 wins in a row. France, however, came from the opposite end after 2 losses in a row and the 4th place in Group A.

The third season finale of Homeland left fans stunned as Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), was hanged for the assassination of an Iranian general.
So is Homeland over? The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that season four of Homeland is already being planned -- which means the show will go on, but without without Brody and without a few other cast regulars.
"Morena Baccarin (Jessica) and Morgan Saylor (Dana) will not return to the Emmy-winning drama as series regulars for the its fourth season," The Hollywood Reporter confirmed ahead of the finale. According to sources, the door is open for both actresses to return on a guest-star basis, the same way ex-full-timer Diego Klattenhoff (Mike) did this season.
It's hard to imagine the Homeland without Brody, but the show will continue, and with many changes.
Saul (Mandy Patinkin) isn't out of the running, and with Carrie having Brody's baby and taking on a new job (in Istanbul) there will be a lot of curious fans tuning in next fall.
