Show HILLTOP TIMES Hilltop Times correspondent T he Gerrity Memorial Library will be kicking off its annual summer reading program with a party on Tuesday, June 7, at 3 p.m. that includes food, outdoor games, a professional storyteller, prizes and more. This year's theme, "A Midsummer Knight's Read," will incorporate medieval-themed activities including learning about knights, jousting and more. "This is a great program to encourage kids to read throughout the summer which is important because research has shown that those who participate in summer reading programs score higher on reading achievement tests in the fall," said Moira Tyrell, library director. BY BRIAN T OOELE VALLEY — The upcoming BigM Weekend presented by Lucas Oil at Miller Motorsports Park, scheduled for May 28-30, is shaping up to be even bigger than anticipated. There will be a major tribute to the nation's armed forces in recognition of Memorial Day, with an F-16 flyover, an acre of military displays and brief remarks by Col. Patrick Higby, installation commander at Hill Air Force Base. On the sports sides of things, Jason Britton, perhaps the world's most popular stunt motorcyclist due to his massive exposure with television programs on the Speed Channel, in movie stunt work and on home videos, will be performing throughout the weekend with his Team No Limit teammate, Eric Hoenshell. "Eric and I are very excited to be part of The BigM Weekend at Miller Motorsports Park," said Britton. "We look forward to meeting and performing for our fans and fellow motorcycle enthusiasts. It's all about the passion on two wheels! See you at the races!" Britton and Hoenshell will perform on-track exhibitions twice each day, during the lunch hour and at the end of the day, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. In addition, Britton will appear at the pre-race party at Honda Suzuki of Salt Lake, 2354 S. State Street in Salt Lake City, on Friday evening at 6 p.m., and at the Fan Party in the paddock at Miller Motorsports Park between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday evening prior to that evening's concert, which features Dierks Bentley, Sawyer Brown and Reckless Kelly. y WE AR[ JUST 15 MINUTES NORTI I OF AIR FORCE BASE CALL OR EMAIL TODAY TO REGISTER 801-390-5811 OR TROY@PO1NTEM BLEMS.COM WWW.POINTEMBLEMS.COM CHALLENGE COINS AWARDS LAPEL PINS GOLF TOOLS PATCHES ou're watching the phone, wait- There's an app for that Your smartphone can help you learn these exercises and improve control over your body's reactions to stress.

Stress is a part of everyday life for service members, veterans and families dealing with multiple deployments, homecomings and all the other demands of a military life. To register, children up to age 12 are asked to sign up at the library. Once registered, children are required to keep a reading log and are challenged to read at least 20 minutes each evening. Every Tuesday at 3 p.m. when they arrive to participate in library activities the children will be required to turn in their reading logs. Medievalthemed prizes will then be awarded based on completion of reading goals. "Research has shown that kids read more if they are involved in summer reading programs," said Tyrell. "So we encourage parents with children who aren't old enough to read to get involved and read to them 20 minutes every night."
