BookPage is thrilled to reveal the cover for There Is a Tribe of Kids, the upcoming new picture book by Lane Smith! It will be released next spring from Macmillan Children's. Click to view larger.
Lucky devils that we are, we were granted a sneak peek of the book, and readers can expect a rich and absorbing—and very funny—exploration of collective nouns. Smith answered a few questions about the new book:
Lane Smith
BookPage: What inspired your new picture book?
Smith: In the summer of 1969 I was an 8-year-old boy living in the foothills of Corona, California. One evening after several hours of exploring caves and climbing rocks I found myself lost and unable to find my way home.
That night I stumbled onto a herd, also called a tribe, of goats. Mostly kids, as their young are called. They shared their food with me and led me to water. If it had not been for these goats who knows what might have happened to me. As the night grew colder, I found warmth in their fur as we huddled together to sleep. In the morning, they led me home.
I never saw them again.
Over the years the memory of this night faded, and I haven't thought much about it until your question, 'What inspired There Is a Tribe of Kids?' I wonder, could There Is a Tribe of Kids have something to do with that time so long ago, that dreamlike night under the stars with that other Tribe of Kids . . . ?
NAH! I think I just wanted to make a book with lots of different animals.
In choosing groups to feature in the book, what do you think is the silliest group name? Most unfair?
I've always thought a Murder of Crows was both the coolest collective noun ever and the most unjust. I love crows. I feed them every morning and could watch them all day long. They are smart, clever and funny and don't seem the slightest bit murderous.
Why is this book important to you?
I don't know if important is the right word. I try to avoid "statements" with my books. But the fun thing about picture books is you can do something wildly, stylistically different with each one: sometimes realistic, sometimes cartoony, sometimes goofy, sometimes abstract. I wanted this one to be dreamlike but also a believable journey, so the art is a mixture of the scribbly and the rendered. It's probably the loosest book I've done.
What are you most excited about for young readers to discover with your new book?
I think it will be a good book for group discussion. I never really say if the boy in the story is lost and trying to get back to his "tribe," or if he was born alone and looking for acceptance with different animal groups. It will be fun to hear what young readers think.
If there were a large group of Lane Smiths, what would that group be called?
My wife Molly said, "an Annoyance of Lanes," but I think she only said that because she wasn't sure how to spell "an Adorableness of Lanes."
Deborah Hopkinson
Getting your kids back to school in the fall just isn't as simple as it used to be. Gone are the days when buying a new backpack, shoes and notebook would be enough. Now, in addition to understanding macro-educational policies, standards and testing requirements, parents must also make sense of ever-changing acronyms, such as STEM, STEAM—and now STREAM. What's behind these terms and what can a parent do to help support a child's learning?
The acronym STEM has been around for awhile; it stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. STEM education refers to teaching and learning in these fields, from preschool to post-doctorate, in both classroom and informal settings. STEM education initiatives are designed to ensure that young people have opportunities in these fields, and to make the U.S. more competitive internationally.
Several years ago, STEM was expanded to STEAM, an effort to incorporate art into the mix. STREAM wasn't far behind—a reminder that reading and writing are essential. As Rob Furman wrote in his 2014 Huffington Post article, "Without the ability to read and write, there is not a job to be found for which STEM or STEAM education is going to be enough preparation."
What's a parent to do? Fortunately, reading great books at home—and seeing reading as a jumping off point for the exploration of the world, is the best place to start. Sometimes just following your child's lead is all it takes. Examples abound: Gardening books for preschoolers can lead to explorations of how plants get energy, and young children are naturally curious: a fictional story about a bear can lead to nonfiction books about mammals and hibernation.
Here are some tried-and-true tips:
Deborah Hopkinson is the author of titles such as The Great Trouble (about the history of cholera), Sky Boys, How They Built the Empire State Building (construction and engineering) and Who Was Charles Darwin? Her newest book is Courage & Defiance: Stories of Spies, Saboteurs, and Survivors in WWII Denmark, out August 25. She's also a regular contributor to BookPage.
Emma Donoghue is best known for her international best-selling novel Room, which was a finalist for the Man Booker, Commonwealth and Orange Prizes. The story of 5-year-old Jack, who has spent his entire life within the confines of a single room with his Ma, is fierce and daring, but young Jack's pitch-perfect narration is what has given the novel such staying power.
With that unforgettable young narrator in her back pocket, Donoghue will publish her first middle grade novel, The Lotterys Plus One, with Scholastic's Arthur A. Levine imprint in February 2017. Sumac Lottery is a little girl at the heart of a big, loving family——six siblings, two moms and two dads all piled into a big Victorian house called Camelottery. It's a lovely life—but then her racist, homophobic grandfather moves in, too.
Says publisher Arthur A. Levine, "This is a tale about the unbridled joy of living in a big, loving family, and the lengths to which one creative nine year old will go when that crazy, delicate equilibrium is threatened. Only a writer with the incredible skill of Emma Donoghue could present such a vibrant bounty of personalities with perfect clarity and true heart."

For so many BookPage readers, the library is a very special place, and summer reading is something we look forward to as much as a vacation itself. Not all young readers feel the same way about summer reading—but fortunately, this year there's a hero to fight summer reading blues. The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), the largest summer reading organization in the country, has tapped their first-ever National Summer Reading Champion, and the honor goes to none other than Kate DiCamillo.
We contacted DiCamillo, who is a two-time Newbery Medal winner and now both the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature AND the National Summer Reading Champion, to talk about summer reading and just how awesome it is:
Congratulations on being the FIRST EVER National Summer Reading Champion! What does this position mean to you?
It means I get to champion books! And libraries! And reading! It means that I get to promote the idea of reading books that you want to read. I was a kid who went to my public library's summer reading program every summer. I loved it. It mattered to me.
What will be your greatest challenge as CSLP's National Summer Reading Champion?
The biggest challenge is to make sure that I don't use too many exclamation marks when I am writing (and talking) about CSLP and their programs. This is something that I believe in so much because it connects directly to the joy of reading.
The 2015 theme is "Every Hero Has a Story." How do you define a "hero"?
A hero, for me, is the person who hands you a book. Librarians are heroes.
What do you consider to be the most important reason to encourage kids and teens to read all summer long?
Reading expands our universe. It enlarges our hearts. It entertains us and educates us and illuminates the world we occupy. Summer reading does that and winter reading does that. Lifetime reading does that.
What books (or kinds of books) do you most often recommend for summer reading?
Oh, I've got a list of classics that I love (The Borrowers, Paddington the Bear, Ribsy, Harriet the Spy, Island of the Blue Dolphins) and new books that I adore (Cody and the Fountain of Happiness, Circus Mirandus, The Great Good Summer), but I am, mostly, a big fan of standing back and letting a kid pick the book they want to read.
If you don't mind me saying, I would define YOU as a hero for giving us so many marvelous stories! Speaking of . . . can you give us a sneak peek of your next book?
It's a book about three friends. It takes place in Florida . . . in the summer time . . .

BookPage is excited to reveal the cover for Frank Einstein and the BrainTurbo, the third book in the Frank Einstein series from Jon Scieszka and Brian Biggs, to be released August 18. Click to view larger.
The first two books in the series, Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor and Frank Einstein and the Electro-Finger, became New York Times bestsellers with a winning combination of real-life science and humor. In book three, Frank Einstein and the BrainTurbo, kid-genius scientist and inventor Frank Einstein's adventures continue—this time involving the science of the human body.
Frank and his best friend, Watson, along with Klink (a self-assembled artificial intelligence entity), create the BrainTurbo to boost the human body and help their baseball-pitching pal Janegoodall. But when Klank goes missing, they must first rescue their robot pal and stop T. Edison—Frank's classmate and archrival—from stealing their latest invention and using it against them.
We've already had lots of fun with Scieszka and Biggs for this series, as they shared their favorite scenes from book one. BookPage checked in with the writing duo to find out more about book three.
Author Jon Scieszka (left) and illustrator Brian Biggs (right)
BookPage: What are you most excited about in the new book?
Jon: This book, and the whole series, completely excites me with the big idea of inventing a new kind of narrative for kids—equal parts hardcore information, action narrative and humor. Shelve under: InfoFictionHumor!
Brian: Robots playing baseball! Klank is my favorite character in the series, and in the third book we spend a lot of time with him. New layers of his personality are revealed, and we realize that things aren't as simple as they might originally seem.
If you could choose any invention from the series, which would you want to use in your real life? What would you do with it?
Jon: I would really love to have the invention from Book #6, and I would use it to access other worlds and universes, create an intelligent universal love and allow all lifeforms to eat lunch whenever they want to.
Brian: The Electro-Finger, for sure. I'm really into bicycling, and on a long ride when I'm making my way up another steep hill, it would be nice to just press the button and zoom to the top. Also, I'd like to wire it so it could help me draw faster. Maybe.
What's it like working with each other?
Jon: Bizarre. Insane. Ridiculous. Educational. Crazy. And Fun. We go back and forth a lot to make sure the science is just right . . . and Klank is always goofy. And it's always fun to see how Brian shows scenes I have imagined. It's a lot like working with Klink and Klank and Watson.
Brian: Jon stands over me as I draw the pictures and chuckles every time I make a mistake. It's pretty annoying, but it's OK because I try to add things into the illustrations that later on make him have to change the text.
We work together well. I think we have the same weird sense of humor, and since we were both 12-year-old boys once, I think we enjoy reverting to those mischievous kids we once were to make these stories.
Also, he remembers my birthday, which is nice.
What would you like to tell all brilliant kid scientists out there?
Jon: Ask questions. Test answers. Find out for yourself how the universe works. It is so important for the future of our world to be scientifically literate. And the truth of the scientific world is endlessly crazy, beautiful and fascinating.
Brian: Use your powers for good. Not evil. Make enormous donuts with your scientific knowledge, not vegetables.
Believe it or not, it's the first day of spring! Raise your hand if you're sick of gray days and ice—or if you're pretty sure the spring equinox is a big fat liar (looking at you, NYC). Littlest readers can celebrate the return of spring (or dream of it) with a fresh crop of picture books:
Shawn Sheehy sneaks plenty of fun facts into his outstanding new pop-up book, Welcome to the Neighborwood. Each spread reveals the home of a different creature, from spiders to hummingbirds. I love how this delicate paper craftsmanship mirrors the intricacy and fragility of nature, encouraging little ones to both explore and respect their environment.
For another unique offering that gets up close and personal with nature, April Pulley Sayre's Raindrops Roll zooms in on the magic of rain with a captivating balance of science and poetry. Seven Impossible Things blogger Julie Danielson shares a few spreads from the book on her blog here.
The title of Kadir Nelson's If You Plant a Seed recalls the slippery-slope hijinks of a certain demanding mouse and his cookie (or moose and muffin, if you prefer), and the rabbit and mouse at the beginning of this gorgeous book certainly need to learn some manners—but fortunately they do, and their gardening efforts become a sweet allegory for the importance of kindness and sustainability.
You Nest Here with Me, written by Jane Yolen and her daughter and fellow birder, Heidi E.Y. Stemple, and illustrated by Melissa Sweet, is a classic bedtime book—but with so many baby birds tucked into their little homes, it's also a classic springtime book.
Carin Bramsen's Just a Duck? is on this list simply because of its hyper-vibrant illustrations. It's a story of unlikely best friends who learn to appreciate each other's unique strengths, but there's something about the colors, textures and, most of all, hilarious expressions that reminds me of all the best parts of spring.
Finally, the bears have it in two exceptional new picture books: The magical paper collages in Finding Spring by Carin Berger capture just how hard it is to wait for new seasons; and The Bear Ate Your Sandwich by Julia Sarcone-Roach is irresistibly full of mischief and bright, sunny adventures.

BookPage is thrilled to reveal the cover for The Day the Crayons Came Home, the sequel to the best-selling The Day the Crayons Quit, written by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers! It will be released this August from Philomel. Click to view larger.
But what have those high-maintenance crayons been up to? We chatted with Jeffers for the release of The Day the Crayons Quit, so for this new book, we wanted to hear from author Drew Daywalt:
Author Drew Daywalt
BookPage: What originally inspired you to share the plight of these grumbling crayons?
Daywalt: It wasn't really by choice. My crayons told me that if I didn't bring their plight to the public eye, something terrible might happen to me. What would you do? Like Duncan, I complied. This conspiracy of silence has to end. These little wax cylinders are terrors and the world needs to know!
Last time we checked in on the crayons, they were pretty ticked off, though Duncan did make a concerted effort to honor their many demands. Why are they coming back in this sequel? What do they want this time?
Money. Cold hard cash. They want the Benjamins and they aren't afraid to use violence to get them. NO, I'M JUST KIDDING! Seriously though . . . poor Duncan. He finally gets one group of crayons to chill out and a whole NEW group shows up griping at him.
In The Day the Crayons Came Home, it's a whole new batch of crayons, and their complaints are about how Duncan has lost, broken or neglected them. We know all these crayons already, because we're all kind of Duncan. They're all the ones we melted, broke, lost or otherwise treated crappily when we were kids. (Is crappily a word? Oh man, did I just invent a word? I did! Yes! You're WELCOME, Webster!) But in all seriousness, what I think makes the new book really special is that it's a story about homecoming and acceptance no matter what . . . but with lots of complaining.
Illustrator Oliver Jeffers
Which crayon do you most empathize with?
In the new book? I'm Neon Red Crayon. Yeah. For sure. He's kind of a lovable goof who has no idea where he is or where he's going, but he's really enjoying the ride. Or . . . I might be Glow-in-the-Dark Crayon. He draws scary things that then totally freak him out when it's dark. Also kind of an idiot. Hmmm . . . I'm seeing a pattern here in myself.
What's your favorite part about working with Jeffers?
He smells nice. Actually, It's the sense of fun when we're working. A lot of what Oliver and I do is try to make each other laugh. He also has a cool Irish brogue, which makes me 25% cooler just by standing next to him when he talks. What I bring to the table is that I have large strong shoulders and I could easily carry him if I ever needed to rescue him from, like, a burning building or something.
What would you like kids to remember next time they pick up their crayons?
Not to do drugs.
The animated film rights for The Day the Crayons Quit were purchased by Universal Pictures last year. Hooray for crayons!
It's one of my favorite—and most fascinating—times of year: The days and weeks following the American Library Association's announcement of the winners of the Youth Media Awards, including the Caldecott, Coretta Scott King, Newbery and Printz awards, are filled with as much joy as debate. We all have our favorite children's and YA books of the year (you can view the BookPage Best Children's and YA Books of 2014 here). Sometimes your favorites don't get the recognition you hoped for, and sometimes they do. And sometimes it seems like the award committee likes to test our understanding of the awards just because they can.
But putting all that aside, we love catching up with the winners of these awards, so we spoke with Caldecott winner Dan Santat, Newbery winner Kwame Alexander and Printz winner Jandy Nelson about what it's like to be recognized as the best in children's and young adult literature.
Caldcott Medal: Dan Santat
Author-illustrator of The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend
"It was a dream come true. A dream I never thought I would ever achieve."
Newbery Medal: Kwame Alexander
Author of The Crossover
"Am I delirious? Dreaming? Did he just really say 'Medal'? And then, like the clouds shifting to reveal the golden sun, my life changed, a new normal ablaze."
Printz Award: Jandy Nelson
Author of I'll Give You the Sun
"I love being inside the minds/hearts of my teen narrators, love the urgency of the teen experience, that period of time when everything is so new, so dramatic, so emotional, so confusing, so funny, so raw, so honest, so everything."
It's February, and everyone has their favorite literary couples: Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. Sometimes the best duos are the ones you'd never think had anything in common . . . like, who would've thought that Ron and Hermione would stop fighting long enough to fall in love?
Oh, it's just so difficult when everyone loves you. Where will the two medals go, anyway? Here's an attempt to pile them on via Mariko Tamaki's website.
With the recent announcement that This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki had won both a Printz Honor and a Caldecott Honor—the first graphic novel to win the latter—these two supposedly irreconcilable seals now sit side by side on the book's cover. The young adult (YA) world is buzzing with debate over this pairing, but I'd like to suggest that it's a terrific chance to challenge assumptions about these awards, and to think about what happens when they come together. Here are three ideas worth considering.
The Caldecott has pushed boundaries before.
The Caldecott medal is awarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children, with Honor books considered to be similarly distinguished runners-up.
Most Caldecott winners and Honor books have looked like picture books—they've been 32 pages or so, and generally taller than they are long—and many are appropriate for preschool audiences. But in 2008, the Caldecott medal went to The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, a book most likely to be enjoyed by late elementary school and early middle-school readers. Clocking in at a hefty 534 pages (and longer and almost wider than it is tall), Hugo Cabret was an unusual choice. And yet its detailed black and white drawings, and its mix of verbal and pictorial storytelling, could certainly be argued to be distinguished.
The two medals' criteria overlap in interesting ways.
In December, I'd predicted that This One Summer would walk away with the Printz award as the best book written for teens this year, based entirely on literary merit. Although "literary" seems at first to refer only to words, books that include both words and pictures have been recognized in the past. Consider American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang, the medal winner in 2007.
Similarly, while the Caldecott's "for children" designation seems at first to exclude teens, a deeper dig through its terms and criteria reveals that "children" is actually defined as "persons of ages up to and including fourteen" (possibly a holdover from before the Printz and other YA awards were established, or before YA lit as it's currently understood existed at all). While the Caldecott is usually thought of as a children's illustration-based award and the Printz as a YA word-based one, there's no definitional reason why an illustrated book aimed at 12- to 14-year-olds can't qualify for—and win—medals in both categories.
This One Summer is all about in-between-ness and liminality.
And if any book was the one to show how this overlap might work, it's Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki's monochromatic, intensely reflective graphic novel. As discussed on this blog series all the way back in November, narrator Rose's age is never actually specified. We know that her younger friend Windy is still very much a child and her aspirational "like eighteen"-year-old crush is too old for her, making Rose probably around 12.
But by writing (and drawing) Rose as an in-between character, the Tamaki cousins actively invite readers to think about liminality, or what it means to be part one thing and part another. Suspended between childhood and young adulthood, Rose is the perfect protagonist of a book that's the first ever to be recognized by both the Caldecott and the Printz committees.
Sure, there've already been calls to redefine the Caldecott criteria to include only books aimed at children 12 and under—and already questions of whether collections that're determined to buy every Caldecott book will wind up with a title that doesn't quite belong. But I think the dual recognition of This One Summer is great for the book, great for children's and YA lit, great for graphic novels and great for ongoing discussions about what these awards are . . . or should be. Like Ron and Hermione, these two opposites might have more in common than they first appear.
What do you think of This One Summer's dual win? Do you think young-leaning YA graphic novels should be eligible for the Caldecott? Tell us in the comments!

How so very humbling. According to Telegraph, a survey of more than 1,000 women found that 92 percent of women could remember the first shoes they bought with their own money. By contrast, less than 67 percent of them could remember the name of the person they first kissed. Likewise, 96 percent of women regret having thrown away a pair of shoes sometime in their lives while only 15 percent regret dumping a boyfriend. I mean, I love shoes and all myself but … that just sends chills down my spine. Men: we need to stand together against the enemy known as The Shoe. United, we may yet loosen Its grip on the women we love.
Other interesting tidbits:
- On average, one woman owns 19 pairs of shoes and only uses 4 pairs regularly.
- On average, a woman buys 4 new pairs of shoes per year. Hopefully, with Shoe Metro!
- One in seven women may hide a pair of shoes from their partner/spouse. Men: beware of secret shoe love affairs!

When: Saturday, December 17, 8:00 p.m.
Opponent: @ Phoenix (16-12-3)
UPDATE: Marty Biron will start in net for New York. Mike Rupp is back in the lineup and Artem Anisimov will be scratched with an illness. (7:37 p.m.)
EARLIER: Suddenly the alarm bells in Ranger-land are ringing.
We saw this team – not necessarily at its best – but certainly
playing very well in November. But in
December the Blueshirts have come crashing down to earth.
New York is just 2-3-1 in its last six games, a difficult
stretch that directly coincides with the loss of defenseman Mike Sauer to a
The month has revealed two of the team's major weaknesses –
opponents with speed and those that play suffocating defense.
And the Rangers' own problems have begun to grow. The team has received no offensive production
from key supporting players Brandon Dubinsky and Brian Boyle and the
shorthanded defense has finally begun to struggle.
New York will attempt to avoid its second three-game losing
streak of the season on Saturday night in Phoenix. The Blueshirts only other such stretch came in
the first weekend of the season, well before the team hit its stride.
The Blueshirts could receive a reinforcement for its front
line as free agent signing Mike Rupp looks like a strong
bet to return to the lineup after missing the last 22 games with a torn
The veteran could help patch up a forward group that hasn't
scored in seven periods, but Rupp isn't the answer to the Rangers'
problems. No, the Rangers have fought
valiantly this season, but they are in dire need of top defenders Sauer and
Marc Staal.
Sauer hasn't resumed skating since taking a monstrous hit
from Dion Phaneuf on December 5th, but Staal has ramped up his skating and is
now ready to hit the weight room. Neither
player is yet close to returning, but the Blueshirts miss them dearly.
Anton Stralman played a season-high 20:18 on Thursday
against St. Louis as Coach John Tortorella desperately sought a way to stretch
the ice and give the offense a boost. Stralman
may be relied upon even more going forward as Ryan McDonagh's play has dipped a
bit. Michael Del Zotto - who scored the
lone goal against the Blues - has also become a critical piece to the Rangers'
puzzle and is now among Tortorella's must trusted soldiers.
Phoenix was widely predicted to be a Western Conference
cellar-dweller after the Coyotes lost goalie Ilya Bryzgalov to free agency this
summer, but the team has maintained its scrappy play this season.
Replacement netminder Mike Smith has found new life in the
desert, much like Brian Elliott in St. Louis, if not quite on the same level.
Phoenix still struggles to get fans to come to Jobing.com
Arena, but the Coyotes have done a wonderful job of ignoring an uncertain
ownership situation and remain in the thick of the playoff hunt once again
despite losing five of their last eight games.
The Rangers' favorite trading partner never makes life easy
for its opponents, but the Blueshirts must come up with a rebound performance
to quell growing panic.
- Rupp and Wojtek Wolski both
participated in practice on Friday and Wolski appears to have been cleared for
contact. Staal joined the team but still
wore a non-contact jersey.
- The Rangers re-assigned Tim Erixon to
Connecticut. Erixon had been called
up as emergency insurance for the western trip.

SciTech Hands on Museum: History
The Science and Technology Interactive Center was established in 1987 by Ernest Malamud, a physcist at Fermilab. SciTech was the realization of his dream: to create a place where people could discover the wonders of science and technology. For the first two years SciTech was located in a Naperville basement, and during its first summer hosted anywhere from 1000 to 1500 visitors a day. SciTech initially included just 25 exhibits, a collection which has grown to over 150.
Fermilab has been closely involved with SciTech since its inception: it originally funded the salary of SciTech's Executive Director and many of the original exhibits were built with the assistance of Fermilab scientists and engineers. Argonne and Bell Labs also provided employees to the museum, some of whom volunteer at SciTech to this day. Unfortunately, Fermilab suffered during the economic crisis and lost much of its funding. Nevertheless, Fermilab still assists when it can and provides a member of our Board of Directors.
In the late 1980's, SciTech was recruited by the City of Aurora to relocate from Naperville and to lease the historic Aurora Post Office building at 18 West Benton Street. Its Aurora ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in June 1990. Since this relocation, many renovations have been done to modernize the facility. In 2000 the Outdoor Science Park overlooking the Fox River was developed by Ronin Muir. In 2004 the mezzanine and auditorium were added, creating a second level for additional hands on exhibits and a new classroom.
New and exciting things are happening every day at the SciTech Museum!
The SciTech STEM Discovery Academy is amazing! Limited to only 40 children between the ages of 3 and 7, this kindergarten and preschool is one of the only S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) curriculum based preschools in the country! Full and part time options are available. Applications are accepted on a first come, first serve basis.
Museum Overnights: Groups of 50 or more can enjoy exclusive use of the museum and our newly recreated overnight camp experience! Food, fun and a sci-tacular experience!!
Birthday Parties: Have your party at SciTech Museum in your own private room followed by access to over 200 hands on exhibits for you and your guests! You can also select add ons to your party from an ala carte menu that includes: pizza, cake, goody bags, a science activity and make your own Pucker Powder gift party favors!
Special events every month! Check in frequently for exciting "must not miss", sell-out events happening at the museum every month.

LOWVILLE A former Lewis County election commissioner accused of authorizing improper payments to her daughter has accepted a plea deal.
Elaine McLear, 56, Van Amber Road, New Bremen, pleaded guilty Friday in Lewis County Court to two counts of second-degree offering a false instrument for filing, Class A misdemeanors, as so-called lesser included charges from the felonies on which she was arraigned.
The plea also satisfies an additional count of first-degree offering a false instrument for filing, as well as charges of official misconduct and petit larceny.
Acting County Judge Donald E. Todd indicated that her sentencing, slated for June 10, would include no more than three years of probation, possibly including community service, and a $50 court fee, with an additional surcharge waived because restitution reportedly has been paid.
Mrs. McLear, as part of the plea deal, also agreed to waive her right to appeal the case and not to seek further employment at the Board of Elections.
To get a little, youve got to give a little, said Judge Todd, who is handling the case because Judge Daniel R. King recused himself.
The judge said the proposed sentence was derived partly from the fact that Mrs. McLear had never been in trouble before and that it was contingent on her cooperating with the county Probation Department on completion of a presentence investigation, showing up for sentencing and staying out of trouble in the interim. Jail time would be possible if any of those conditions were not met, he said.
Mrs. McLear was accused of submitting purchase orders for payments to her daughter, Diane McLear, of $35 for an election inspector training session in August 2011, $120 for working at the Sept. 13, 2011, primary election and $192 for working at the Nov. 8, 2011, general election.
Prosecutor Colleen M. Glavin, assistant state attorney general and public integrity officer, and defense attorney John G. Leonard, Rome, both declined comment after the court session.
Mrs. McLear, who had been the Democratic commissioner since 1997, was suspended without pay Dec. 28, 2011, pending the results of a state police investigation into the allegations.
The matter then was turned over to the attorney generals office, as the district attorney like the sheriff is an elected official who has direct dealings with the Board of Elections.
Mrs. McLear in late June sued the county, seeking reinstatement and back pay, and a state Supreme Court judge ruled in her favor, agreeing election commissioners can be removed from office only by the governor. However, the county appealed the decision, keeping Mrs. McLear from returning to work until that process was completed.
Results of that appeal will determine whether the county will be required to pay Mrs. McLear, who had an annual salary of roughly $35,000, for her year under suspension.
Her term expired Dec. 31, and legislators appointed Lindsay I. Burriss, who served as interim commissioner throughout 2012, to the job on a permanent basis.
Another ex-Lewis County employee, former recreational trail coordinator Robert C. Diehl, 43, Martinsburg, was recently arraigned on charges of third-degree grand larceny, first-degree offering a false instrument for filing and official misconduct.
Mr. Diehl, whose case was adjourned to July 12 with a possible Sept. 9 trial date, was accused of submitting a purchase order and voucher for payment on Oct. 25 for stone products from V.S. Virkler & Son, Lowville, that included $3,262.97 worth of gravel that was delivered to his residence for his personal use.

For cross country runners, the end result is not always the best way to determine success.
For the Carbon High Cross Country teams, battling it out with a collection of the best in all of 3A provided a chance for CHS runners to put their skills to the test.
Head coach Telisse Allen said the girls squad qualified for state and the boys team had two runners including Garrett Marsing and Austin Barber qualify for state.
Marsing, the top boys runner for the Dinos, took 16th place finishing with a time of 16.29.
"Going into the meet his goal was to make it into the top 10," said Allen of the CHS junior. "While he is disappointed in not making that goal, he set a new personal best time for himself running at Sugarhouse."
To make things more difficult for the athletes, runners are not allowed to practice on the course. Allen said those caught doing so can be penalized.
"The competition at the state meet is really fierce," she said.
Barber, also a junior, was able to qualify for the state meet for the team. Barber finished the race in 19.05.
"For him (Barber) to make state, it was a terrific accomplishment that will help going into next season," Allen said.
For the girls team, Allen said their final results don't tell the whole story of how they did. Rachel Goodrich finished in 36th place with a time of 20.47. Following her were Giovanna Chiara (21.32), Diana Olsen (22.50), Jenee Martinez (23.19), Madi Black (23.51), Abbi Powell (24.19) and Alyssa Rassmussen (28.13).
Many of the girls finished with personal bests at state, Allen said.
"The girls had a great season overall," Allen said noting they ran against a lot of 4A and 5A schools at many of the meets this year.
With the season now complete, Allen feels that there is a lot of potential in the boys and girls teams going into next year. With plenty of youth on the team getting experience, it can only bold well for the Dinos in the coming years.
But for those who completed their final season running cross country for the team, Allen said running is one thing that can last a lifetime for runners.
"I always tell the team 'you guys will always have this (running) in your lives,'" she said. "Cross country is a very disciplined sport and you're only as good as you want to be."

Falcons top short-handed Pats
Injuries and a few discipline issues left the Pilgrim boys' soccer team with just 11 players for Thursday's game against Cranston West, and that made for an uphill battle. The Falcons – who like Pilgrim had just one victory coming in – scored three times in the first half and coasted to a 3-0 victory. Austin Raposa had two goals for the Falcons, and Alec Kolenda tallied the other. Pilgrim's Aaron Edmonds, typically a field player, stepped into the goalie position and held his own for the Pats. Pilgrim will try to bounce back today when it hosts Coventry at 3:30 p.m.

If you're travelling distances a bit longer than you'd like to cycle, or you have a flat or it's raining, you can always take your bike on the trains.
The InterCity trains and the Regional trains all have bike carriages and the Metro allows bikes, but it is on the local S-tog trains serving the Greater Copenhagen metropolitan area that is it easiest.
Every train has a couple of spacious carriages for bikes and prams. The bike racks are sturdy and flexible, allowing for the sway of the train. Just stick your back wheel in and sit down and enjoy a good book or newspaper. You need a ticket for the bike, which costs about 10 kroner.
Here's a 'klippekort' - a 10 journey discount card for bikes:
I'm still waiting to get a shot of a Copenhagen taxi with a bike rack. All taxis are equipped with a bike rack with room for two bikes. Stay tuned.

Just noticed your "rebranding" - Copenhagenize.
Like it.
I need Copenhagenizing.
My sanity demands it.

Like the new Copenhagenize name too.
I've used that word in conversation with my better half about how we should Copenhagenize our towns and cities over here.

thanks to you both.
glad you like the name change... or the 'rebranding' as the kids say these days... :-)
it started with cycleliciousness, which was funky but no reference to Copenhagen.
so i went over to The Copenhagen Bike Culture Blog... which is clear, but unwieldly.
so... copenhagenize. catchy, modern, downhill with a tailwind.

My concern, however, would be that the rear wheel could be damaged by being bent by the holder.
I rather like the trains here in Toronto where every regular railcar takes bicycles. (regular = not the one per train special handicapped access car).
The bicycles fit behind two verticle poles that are next to every door. I note from their website that electric bicycles are explicity allowed. See:

There are literally millions of wheel holder bike racks in Europe and Japan and I have never heard of wheels getting bent and I've never experienced it myself, and i park in them every day of the week.
Thanks for the Toronto link!

I am so jealous of Copenhagenites! Here in Melbourne, Australia, the state government has recently been forced by public outrage to reverse it's decision (after only a few weeks) to *BAN* bicycles from peak-time trains. We have a LONG way to go before Melbourne is 'Copenhagenized'...
- 12:50
Good to hear that the wheel holders are OK. Once upon a time I had a problem with something similar, but it may just have been a badly made bike.
The interesting thing that I find about Toronto's bicycle culture is that bicycles compete with public transit, not so much private cars.
For example, where I live downtown, there are no facilities for car parking, and the same is true where I work. So the only choices are bicycle or TTC (Toronto Transit Commission).
There is an interesting breakdown of commuting modes by neighbourhood population density at:
What is most interesting is that although private car use drops from a high of 64% in the outer suburbs to 15-25% in the downtown, whether bicycle or TTC is used depends upon the neighbourhood.
Note, BTW, that the two St. Clair neighbourhoods have anomalous results because the St. Clair streetcar line was shut down for rebuilding the track at the time of the census.

"Copenhagenize" -- I like it too.
Here's a typical view on the train in the San Francisco area. Here's another. Most of the photos in my Bike Commuters photo set were taken at or near a Caltrain station.

Vote: Trade, Sign or Do Nothing with RA Dickey
"There appears to be a gap between how the Mets value R.A. Dickey and how other teams value him," Richard Justice says at MLB.com, adding:
"Sandy Alderson has asked for such a large package of prospects that some executives have wondered how serious he is about trading him. On the other hand, Alderson has said all along he's simply in a listening mode, that he's also OK with signing Dickey to an extension or beginning the 2013 season with him and allowing the market to play out after that. … At the moment, he appears the next logical domino to fall in the pitching market. If nothing else, Alderson finally may be able to gauge Dickey's value and whether he should move him or not."
According to MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone, the Mets are asking for at least two top prospects, including your team's best hitting prospect, and maybe a back-up catcher, in any deal for Dickey.
For instance, the Mets are looking for top hitting prospects Mike Olt, 25, and Leonys Martin, 24, from the Rangers, according to John Harper of the Daily News.
Baseball America recently ranked Olt and Martin as the second and third best position prospects with the Rangers behind SS Jurickson Profar.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, that means, if you follow Polish tradition, you'll be eating a lot of doughnuts today. But not just any doughnuts.
Paczki is a special jam or jelly-filled fried pastry made with butter and eggs in the dough. They're rich, light, delicious and most people have forgotten how to make them.
That bothered Lisa Mendel. Lisa is the organizer of the Polish cooking classes taking place once a month on Sunday mornings at the Polish National Alliance in Adams. She decided to ask Melissa Langenback, who teaches breadmaking at Different Drummer's Kitchen, to give a class on making the lighter-than-air treats.
So on a frozen February morning, a dozen ladies from the community gathered to learn to make paczki from scratch.
iBerkshires was there and thanks to the videography of local film maker Steven Borns, you can peek into a few of the steps that go into this pre-Lenten treat.
Of course you can eat paczki any time you can find them (try the Big Y) but if you want to be traditional, today's the day.

With kids set to head back to school, we'll talk about the childhood vaccinations required in much of the country. State and local governments across the nation are requiring an increasing list of vaccinations for children entering school, covering illnesses from measles, mumps, and rubella to chicken pox and flu. Public health advocates say that the vaccines are well-tested and serve a vital role in preventing disease outbreaks. Some vocal parents, however, attribute numerous side effects to the vaccines, and claim that certain vaccines could be to blame for the rise of autism and other serious conditions.
Parental resistance to vaccines has diseases such as measles on the rise. From January 1 to July 31, 2008, 131 cases of measles were reported to the CDC -- more than during the same period in any year since 1996. Measles is consistently one of the first diseases to reappear when immunization coverage rates fall, CDC officials said. In this segment, we'll talk about the issue of vaccination, and whether there is any merit to the anti-vaccine claims.
