Though there are no laws defining respect for Old Glory, tradition dictates the following flag etiquette: The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an appropriate light source. ' The flag should be flown only in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for inclement weather use. The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upsidedown only as a distress signal. The flag should not be used for general decoration. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for Roosevelt librarian attends conference Lorie Womack, branch manager man-ager of the Roosevelt Library, recently attended the annual American Library Association conference in Washington, D.C. The conference, a joint effort of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, state library agencies agen-cies and WebJunction,isapart of the Rural Library Sustainability Project. The purpose "of this project, according to the library project Web site, is "to support rural and small librarians in developing and implementing community-specific community-specific action plans for sustaining sustain-ing public access computing in their libraries." Throughout the conference, rural librarians from 32 states were taught how to make their libraries inherent parts of their communities. Womack said, "I am grateful to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for making this op-: op-: portunity to attend ALA available avail-able to me. It was an amazing experience ex-perience to be part of something as big as the ALA conference. ALA was extremely educational and lots of fun. I look forward to putting the things I learned into practice in our library system." .( : Matter" focused on the extreme danger that alcohol causes in the developing teen brain, a homework lesson for parents and the student and a CD of music that teaches skills and talks of the harmful effects of underage alcohol use. As outlined on the contest form, students were invited to draw all of the great things they do to stay free from alcohol use and other unhealthy behaviors. All of the pictures from the contest are used to make a children's art calendar that is given to the county commission, city councils, law enforcement, schools districts, other government govern-ment agencies and community commu-nity members in general.

The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard. The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations. The flag should never have any in D.C. One of the conference highlights high-lights for Womack was the world premiere of the documentary "The Hollywood Librarian". Some of the ideas presented in the documentary include: societies without books and learning crumble, the field of librarianship is a career you will love and libraries and librarians have come a long way since the "Marian the Librarian" days. Rural librarians are defined as those who serve less than 25,000 patrons. Rural libraries make up four-fifths of U.S. public libraries. librar-ies.

"Winning the contest is a fun thing for the contestants, but the most fun comes when their eyes light up as you tell them they will have some calendars cal-endars to give away with their drawing and their name in it" said Paris Anderton, substance abuse prevention coordinator for Northeastern Counseling Center and overseer of the art contest and its resulting calendar.

School is out for three months, and time is free but must be filled. Without something to do in between parties, barbeques and vacations, children are often bored with the time they've been given. Television or video games are a quick and easy time-filler, but most parents don't want their children spending three months on the couch staring at the television with glazed-over eyes. When it's time to turn off the television, there are innumerable innu-merable opportunities to help a child develop a creative mind and an active body.

Pearson encourages her children chil-dren to complete their five tasks and then is more than happy to let them have sleepovers, go on picnics, or even try to earn some money. "I have a list of jobs that I tell my kids I will pay them to do," said Pearson, "I will even pay them to do something that I think they should work on a little more." Pearson explained that she will pay some of her children to spend time reading each day, and some of her children to be a little more active everyday. "It encourages them to do more than watch TV or play computer com-puter games," said Pearson.

But when it's time at home that needs to be filled, child counselor Elaine Gibson, suggests sug-gests engaging the child in their own creative processes to decide what they want to do with their time. On her website, Gibson suggests that a bored child needs direction, but must be allowed to choose how they will fill their time. Providing a "bored box" may be one solution to providing that direction. By filling a box with ideas of things that can be done around the house (like running through, the sprinkler, cutting out magazine pictures or serving someone secretly), a child can go to the box and draw out an idea to help them decide what to do. Once rules and limits have been set for summer activities, children feel empowered to do more with their tune than watch television or play video games. Most children, when made accountable ac-countable for their own time, will learn to fill it productively. They will have more fun, be more active, and make more memories.
