for each child. In addition to
snack, homework time and ac-
tivity centers, specialty instruc-

their interest and are guided by
the program's professional staff.
"Children participating in
Kids Etc. are approached in a
positive manner and treated
with respect," Walker said.
"Consistent, age appropriate
limits help children be success-
ful in the program. Children
will learn self discipline, respect
for others and how to make
good choices. Appropriate be-
havior is acknowledged and re-
warded, misbehavior is redi-
rected. At Kids Etc. we view
ourselves as partners with par-
ents to provide the best care for
their child."
Walker said Kids Etc. exceeds

Summer Reading Program success
Reading was the name of the
game for 464 children enrolled
in Mauney Memorial Library's
summer reading program.
The program ended with a
tug of war Monday between
adults and youth on the lawn of
the library. Not surprisingly the
kids won.
Pulling for good readers
were City Councilmen Rick
Murphrey, Dean Spears and
Jerry Mullinax, assisted by
Bethware School Principal Mary
Accor, board of education chair-
man Ronnie Hawkins and
Librarian Rose Turner. The 73
children who earned points for
reading were on the winning
side of the rope which was
strung across the sidewalk.
Hawkins presented certifi-
cates to the children who had
also earned weekly prizes for
reading this summer.
Team captains for the chil-
dren were Donta Adams and
Abbey Kates. The adult team
captain was Mayor Scott
Neisler.
Summer programs were led
by children's librarian Louise
Sanders and included a visit
from Dee Sarver from Crowders
Mountain State Park who ex-
hibited a snake and turtle and
Roger Lowrance . from
Cleveland County Animal
Control who showed puppies
looking for homes. Other pro-
grams included sing-a-longs,
picnics, storytelling and more.
Every week a new game was in-
troduced and a tournament was
held to play the games the chil-
dren learned.
"We have all had a fun sum-
mer and we expect to see these
children and more return to the
library even after school starts
in August," said Mrs. Sanders.
