Literacy Volunteers Honored For Services To Youngsters BY SUSAN USHER Working onc-on-one with at-risk youngsters. Storytelling sessions, a rhythm band and introduc tion to art for HeadStart preschoolers. Books on tape that demonstrate tor parents tech niques lor reading aloud to their children. These arc examples of the efforts that have won vol unteers with the Brunswick County Literacy Council's Calabash Satellite one of the first Governor's Awards for Volunteer Services to Children. The group will be among winners from 70 counties invited to participate in a recognition ceremony Monday, Aug. 30, at Meredith College in Raleigh. Gov. Jim Hunt will present the awards in a 2 p.m. ceremony in Jones Auditorium, following a reception at I p.m. in Johnson Hall. Given this year for the first time, the awards honor and recognize those who have given outstanding service to children in their communities on a volunteer basis. The Brunswick County Literacy Council was al ready working with adults who needed to improve their reading skills. But, recognizing the importance of shar ing the love of reading at an early age. Calabash Satellite volunteers, on their own initiative, spearheaded three programs for children. At Union Elementary, 19 volunteers spent two to two and a half hours each week last year working onc on-one with high risk students, helping with improve reading and comprehension skills. The program grew out of a reading project the volui teers had started a year earlier. Also, last year for the second year, 14 volunteers vis ited the Longwood Head Start Center once a week to work with students. Twelve v olunteers conductcd story telling or reading programs, tying their activities, props and stories to the center's curiculum. One volunteer, for example, brought gardening tools and seeds as visual aids for one lesson. Volunteer Peg Brown, a retired greeting card artist, used her skills in art to work with children on identify ing colors and shapes, while volunteer Inky Remais spe cialized in music, organizing and equipping a small rhythm band. The third project, aimed at children and their par ents, brought new volunteers "out of the woodwork," said satellite organizer Maryn Hall, past vice president of the literacy council. Using 100 or more audiotapes, books and other ma terials donated by publishers and local merchants. Calabash area residents recorded children's books on tape. The tapes were bundled with copies of the books for distribution to parents. Volunteers didn't simply read the story aloud direct ly from the book noting when the page should be turned, said Hall, but instead used the books as they would when reading to their own children. The voice on tape might ask a reader to count the children in the picture, or identify "the color of the balloon in the first child's hand." The tapes are being distributed to parents through area community service agencies, with the hope of each tape getting used by at least five households. "The idea is to show the parents how to do this kind of thing when reading aloud to their children," said Hall. "If the parents were never read aloud too, or arc not very good readers, they don't know how to do this." The tapes also feature a plug for the literacy council at the start and end of each story, encouraging listeners who need help with their own reading skills to contact the council at 743-7323. In another project for children, the council sends volunteers into all area primary and elementary schools during National Literacy Week in September to read aloud to students and tell them about the council's ser vices for adults. CHURCH ACTIVITIES Operation LAMB Begins August 26 the local Knights of Columbus, Council No. 9039 of Brunswick County, will hold its annual fundraising program, "Operation LAMB" starting Thursday, Aug. 26.

Commodities Distribution Is Scheduled Sept. 17-18 The Brunswick County Volunteer and Information Center (VIC) will make the third-quarter distribution of U.S. Department of Agriculture commodities Sept. 17-18 at Re publican Headquarters in Supply. The site will be open at 9 a.m. un til 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 17. It will re open at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 18 and remain open until the food sup ply is exhausted. Commodities allocated to VIC in clude butter, cornmeal, peas, peanut butter, applesauce, canned pork, or ange juice, raisins, rice, apple juice, peaches, fruit cocktail and vegetari an beans. The commodities program is a supplement to other available ser vices in Brunswick County. VIC is unable to order specific amounts of food because the state Department of Agriculture divides the available food supply from the USDA be tween all counties. "There are no guarantees that there will be enough of the above mentioned foods to supply everyone eligible for this program. The food is distributed on a first-come, first served basis, and once all ihc foods arc given out, there will be no more available until the next quarter," said Angela Fisher, executive assistant at VIC. To qualify: ?Persons from food stamp house holds must bring their white com modity authorization cards and their green identification card. The white cards should be delivered through the mail by Sept. 5. A household is considered a food stamp household if they received food stamps in August 1993. ?For households which do not re ceive food stamps, the person apply ing must appear at the distribution site in person or send a statement by their designation person authorizing VIC to release commodities to that person. The note must include the applicant's name and social security number, household income, number of people in the household, address, and person's name authorized to pick up commodities. It also should state that no one else from the household is applying. Everyone rccciving commodities must bring a box or container for their food.
