little free libraries

““There are many little ways to enlarge

your child's world. Love of books is the best of all.”

— Jacqueline Kennedy

photos by larissa wardrip

We are in love with little Free libraries, these adorable front yard book exchanges that are popping up all over the place. Kids love them, too — it’s like a scavenger hunt with the potential for buried treasure.

First, you have to seek out the little library; there’s a map at littlefreelibrary.org. Even better, maybe you just happen upon one during a neighborhood ramble. Peek through the window, open the door. Anything catch your eye today?

“Take a book, return a book,” the sign says. You can’t steal something if it’s free! The idea is to build a sense of community and foster a love of reading in both children and adults.

there are hundreds of little Free libraries all across the country, and Yakima has at least three:

+ corner of 26th and West chestnut avenues in the

Barge-Chestnut historic District.

+ corner of Eighth avenue and pine Street at the

Unity Spiritual Life Center.

+ 4901 Castleview Drive, off 48th Avenue across

from Randall Park.

The theme of this year’s Central Washington State Fair is “TASTE THE FUN,” and I’m already craving an elephant ear. Bet you are too.

To help you save a few dollars for treats, Busybee has rounded up tricks for saving money on admission on carnival rides:

First off, you need to know the standard rates: GENERAL ADMISSIoN is $13 for adults, $10 for seniors 65+, $8 for children ages 6-12, and kids ages 5 and under are free. Parking is $7 a day; or, take a free shuttle from Office Max or Target (same parking lot, two stops).

CARNIVAL WRISTbANDS, which allow unlimited rides for one day, will set you back $25 or $30 per person, depending on the day. Tuesday through Friday, wristbands are $25; the price is $30 on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

For my family — two adults and two school-age kids — regular admission and two wristbands would cost $92 or $102, depending on the day. Ouch.

You can shave $1 off the price of admission and $3-$8 off wristbands by purchasing in advance (before 5 p.m. Sept. 19) at the State Fair Park box office, Banner Bank or Wray’s grocery stores. (Other locations carry

wristbands but no admission. See fairfun.com for the list.)

However, YoUR bEST bET FoR SAVINGS is to take advantage of one of the fair’s promo days. There are deals for seniors and military, but we’ve just identified those best for families:

Friday, Sept. 20 is KIMA TV Day: All ages pay $4 for gate admission from noon to 3 p.m. Wristbands on Fridays run $25.

Today, we would pay $64 at the door, or just $60 if we buy the wristbands in advance. Nice!

Monday, Sept. 23 is Franz bread Day: Bring an empty Franz Bread sack with a sticker to purchase a wristband and admission for $28. You’ll need one sack per person. (Remember: wristbands are $30 today, so you’ll definitely want to take advantage of the special if you’re planning on any rides.)

Our cost would be $82 plus two loaves of bread, or $112 and four loaves if we all go for a spin.

Tuesday, Sept 24 is Solarity Credit Union Day: After 3 p.m., youth ages 12 and younger pay $15 for admission and a carnival wristband; no coupon required. This is HANDS-DoWN THE bEST DEAL if you’re planning to hit the carnival.

My family would pay $56 if just the kids go to the carnival, or $106 for all four of us to ride — make that $100 with pre-purchased wristbands for the two adults!

Wednesday, Sept. 25 is Pepsi Day: All ages pay $5 for gate admission until 5 p.m.

We’d pay $70 at the door, or $64 if we purchase two wristbands in advance.

Sunday, Sept. 29, is Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic Family Day: On the fair’s final day, pay $25 and receive admission for two adults and three youth ages 6-12 (remember, kids ages 5 and younger are always free). There’s no coupon required; just ask for the Farm Workers Clinic special. Wristbands run $30 on Sundays.

Today, our cost would be $85, or $69 with a pair of pre-purchased wristbands. And room to spare for one more elephant ear....

if you’re not going to the carnival, friday the 20th, Wednesday the 25th

MOpS is short for Mothers of preschoolers, an international christian organization for mothers of young children. having a student enrolled in preschool isn’t a requirement — the mothers in this group all have a child who is in kindergarten or younger, including newborns.

the groups meet in local churches and provide moms with a couple hours of fellowship and respite while the kids are in childcare elsewhere in the building. Meetings typically include speakers, table talk and some sort of refreshments. Some groups have dues while others are free, but don’t let finances stop you from joining — scholarships are readily available.

MOpS runs on the school calendar, so fall is is the best time to join, but newcomers are always welcome. There are five chapters in Yakima County and Ellensburg:

FIRST PRES MoPS meets 9-11:15 a.m. first and third Fridays. First Presbyterian Church, 9 S. Eighth Ave., Yakima; Brianne, 509-949-8681.

The How-To on Washing ProduceGrowing up in the Yakima Valley, I have always considered myself fortunate to have easy access to fresh fruit and vegetables—an essential part of any healthy diet and lifestyle. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways you can contribute to the health of your family.

While fresh, raw produce contains the highest levels of nutrition, they can also harbor bacteria and fungus. Making a habit of properly cleaning your fruits and vegetables is a simple way to help keep your family both safe and healthy. So next time you stop by your local produce stand, grocery store or farmer’s market, keep the following tips in mind:

RINSING FRESH PRoDUCE UNDER RUNNING WATER has been proven most effective in removing the bacteria living on your food. Under cold running water, briskly rub fruits and vegetables with your hands or a produce brush. You may spray a solution made of one-third vinegar and two-thirds water on your produce before you rinse, adding another layer of protection against the bacteria. After fruits and vegetables are thoroughly cleaned, towel-dry your produce to remove the excess water, dirt and bacteria.

PURCHASE SMART. SToRE SAFELY. avoid purchasing bruised, damaged or moldy fruit, as bacteria can easily hide and quickly spread to the rest of the fruit. Bag produce and raw meat and store in separate locations to prevent cross contamination.

bE CLEAN. Starting with clean hands and a clean workspace is great routine to develop. Make sure you are using a clean cutting board and knife when preparing food for your family. consider investing in color-coded cutting boards, designating specific colors for meat and produce. This will help preventing cross-contamination.

Using a store-bought produce wash is not necessary. Washing fruits and vegetables with cool, running water is a simple and effective way to help remove germs and pesticides from your fruit and vegetables before you serve them to your family, keeping them healthy. Bon appetit! ■

Dr. Tanny Davenport grew up in Wapato and is a family medicine physician with a special interest in obstetrics at Family Medicine of Yakima. He is currently accepting new patients.

of-summer blues? Perhaps

the remedy is a good laugh.

books sure to induce a case

of the giggles to remedy

both you and your children.

Chicken Cheeks by Michael Ian Black

What’s funnier than a thesaurus of animal posteriors? Perhaps the absurd situation this exotic mix gets into as they attempt to reach a beehive. With only a couple words of text per page this one reads quickly but the brightly colored illustrations add lots of additional entertainment.

Chester by Melanie Watt

Ms. Watt is attempting to write a quaint little picture book about a mouse, but her cat Chester insists on being the star of the book. Each page Melanie composes is altered in bright red marker by Chester. Soon the two are engulfed in a humorous power struggle. This cleaver title is full of surprises that will produce fits of giggles throughout.

Watch Me Throw the Ball! by Mo Willems

The combination of serious elephant and carefree piggy can spark hilarity in even the most mundane situation. These two characters bring the perfect

combination for laughs. The Elephant and Piggie series is fun for all but absolutely perfect for emerging readers.

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka

This book is composed of fairy tale spoofs sure to delight older children familiar with the traditional tales. Tales such as Chicken Licken’, The Really Ugly Duckling, and Little Red Running Shorts include no lesson only a hearty dose of sarcasm. The assorted page arrangement and unusual mix of text and illustrations make this one absolutely hilarious when read aloud.

More Bears by Kevin Nesbitt

This highly participatory story has readers demanding MORE BEARS with each page turning. The author willing obliges adding all sorts of whimsical bears — bears in lederhosen, surfing bears and many, many more. Soon bears cover the pages until the book comes to a surprising conclusion sure to leave the little ones begging for another reading.

The Monster at the End of This Book by Jon Stone

Perhaps you will recall this one from your own childhood. Sweet, loveable Grover is frightened of the monster promised to be found at the end of the book and will go through extraordinary and comical lengths to keep the reader from turning the page. ■ If you would like to read more reviews visit http://readingforsanity.blogspot.com
