Though I do not think of myself as a risk taker, I am going to name names and hope that I get all of them. Thanks to the committee who helped conceive this project, who gave me more ideas than I could possibly use, who worked with various resource people, and who encouraged me every step of the way. BICENTENNIAL CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING COMMITTEE Erma Anderson, Bluegrass Regional Library Board Rose Bray, Louisville Free Public Library Kathy Crawford, Larue County Public Library Pat Crum, Martin County Public Library Becky Dickerson, Hopkinsville-Christian County Library Sybil Galer, Letcher County Public Library Iris Garrott, Paducah Public Library Janet Gates, Madison County Public Library Gerry Green, Logan-Helm Woodford County Library Dorothy Griffith; Greenup County Public Library Cecelia Horn, Kenton County Public Library Sarah Kelley, Bluegrass North Regional Office Vickie Nicholson, Laurel County Public Library Alice Pierce, Lexington Public Library (Meggan Conway and. Jim Witham) Lesley Potts, Bowling Green Public Library Martha Rankin, Shelby County Public Library Betsy Robinette, Boone County Public library Lisa Waddle, Pulaski County Public Library Thanks to those who met with the committee: Louis DeLuca of the Kentucky Department of Education, Bob Gates of the Kentucky Folk Life Program, Julie Smither of the Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet, and Jeanne Suchanek of the Kentucky Historical Society. Contributors are acknowledgld on the pages of their submissions where feasible, but many priceless contributions were made in the names of agencies only. Some of the people behind those nameless contributions are Nancy Baird of the Kentucky Library and Larry Scott of the Kentucky Museum (both of Western Kentucky University) and Vicki Middleswarth of the Kentucky Historical Society. Thanks to the Vermont Department of Libraries and to the State of Arizona Department of Library, Archives and Public Records for inspiration by way of marmals from their past summer reading programs. In an endeavor like this there are always many in-house people who give aid and expertise: Ellen Dickerson and Molly McConnell who prepared the AV bibliography; Molly Cone who worked with the committee and kept us abreast of statewide bicentennial plans; Jay Bank who made the crossword puzzles; Myra Morton who was the committee secretary and who helped with all phases of manual production; and Jim Nelson, our state librarian, who has always offered his unqualified support for youth services in Kentucky. Last, but not least, thanks to our artist Chris Ware. Chris is a member of the staff of the Lexington Herald-Leader. He is a frequent library user as are his wife and three preschool children. For years his "Library Jones" character has been a favorite of Kentucky kids and their librarians. For READiscover Kentucky he has created a whimsical Daniel Boone who (despite the fact that he is reported to have been substantially illiterate) will at long last discover the joys of reading--just look at his smiling face on the poster if you don't believe it!We know Chris' lighthearted, colorful treatment of our theme will delight children of all ages. His work will help us all to READiscover Kentucky! A MESSAGE FOR LIBRARIANS USING THIS MANUAL Vicki Middleswarth, a history interpreter who works for the Kentucky Historical Society, says she is always seeking "ways for children to experience the past". As children's librarians we will be doing the same thing as we work with our bicentennial theme, READiscover Kentucky.We will not be history teachers presenting political facts; we will be helping children to answer the questions they have about the past: What was Kentucky like 200 years ago? Or 2,000 years ago? What was it like to be a child in Kentucky 50 years ago? 100 years ago? 200 years ago? What was life like in my community in the past? What was life like in my own family in the past? How have these things shaped my life today? How will my life today become tomorrow's history? What will the future hold for me and for Kentutky? Helping children to answer these questions is a tall order, but in doing so we can help them develop a pride in themselves and a pride in the community and state they call homy. This manual will help you to find ways for children to experience the past. It is not intended to dictate what you must or should do. It is only meant to stimulate your ideas about book related programs that will be best suited to your young library patrons and to the resources of your library and your community. 2 7 The second section of this manual contains history related activities. Initially the bicentennial committee wanted the manual to include a capsule history of Kentucky. As your editor got deeper and deeper into the project, she found that she was no historian. She also felt that it was a mistake to reinvent the wheel. That is why there are two volumes accompanying this manual. The first is A Teacher's Guide to Kentucky's Story by Carol Crowe Carraco and Nancy Disher Baird which is meant to be used with the Kentucky Educational Television series of the same title. It is a particularly good history for our purposes because it tells Kentucky's story from the points-of-view of fictional children living in various periods. At the end of each chapter is a bibliography and a list of suggested activities. Though intended for fourth grade classrooms, these suggestions will inspire many wonderful public library programs. Because we needed a good source of reproducible maps and because we hear so much about our children's lack of knowledge of geography, you are receiving a second additional volume, Kentucky; A Geographical and Historical Perspective. This beautiful publication has easy to use history in an encapsulated format. Each brief chapter includes many suggestions for activities that could be scaled down for library programs. Combined, these two titles will make a far better and more practical history than your editor could ever have written. In doing this project, I have learned a lot about how good historians work--they use primary sources whenever possible. With the help of the Kentucky Historical Society and the Kentucky Library and Museum at Western Kentucky University, I have been able to include many activities that are documented to have actually taken place in Kentucky or that can be reasonably assumed to have taken place here. The home remedies included were really used, the games were really played, the dolls were really made by Kentucky children, etc. Unquestionably the most impressive contribution to this manual was made by Bob and Janet Gates who wrote the folklife section. He is the director of the Kentucky Folklife Program and wrote the narrative; she is a children's librarian at Madison County Public Library and added activity suggestions. They have produced a seamless text which includes more things than you could possibly do during 1992.

The Lida Calvert Hall/Obenchain/McMillan Collection is a large Privately held collection of many items of historic significance. The Collection is wide ranging in its content, from rare French Furniture pieces to Books and Manuscripts. The Collection consists of 5 generations of the Calvert Hall/Obenchain/McMillan and Godwin Families. The Story of this Collection starts with Eliza (Lida) Calvert Hall; Eliza Caroline "Lida" Obenchain (née Calvert), (February 11, 1856 - December 20, 1935) was an American author, women's rights advocate, and suffragist from Bowling Green, Kentucky. Lida Obenchain, writing under the pen name Eliza Calvert Hall, was widely known early in the twentieth century for her short stories featuring an elderly widowed woman, "Aunt Jane", who plainly spoke her mind about the people she knew and her experiences in the rural south. Lida Obenchain's best known work is ‘Aunt Jane of Kentucky’ which received extra notability when United States President Theodore Roosevelt recommended the book to the American people during a speech, saying, "I cordially recommend the first chapter of Aunt Jane of Kentucky as a tract in all families where the menfolk tend to selfish or thoughtless or overbearing disregard to the rights of their womenfolk”. In the Collection, we possess a number of letters that President Roosevelt sent to Lida praising her work, one on White House Stationary and others from when he left office.

Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences DeALOIA, SARA ROSE. M.S. August 2004. Environmental Studies Archaeology as Restoration Ecology: A Model from SunWatch Indian Village/ Archaeological Park (33My57)(87 pp.) Director of Thesis: Elliot Abrams This research is intended to demonstrate how SunWatch Indian Village/Archaeological Park presents possibilities for how restoration ecology and archaeology can augment and inform each other by looking at both the site and the environmental restoration at the site from an historical ecology perspective. There are two major themes of this work: first, the application of archaeological data to modern environmental issues and second, the importance of viewing landscapes as both natural and cultural phenomena which interact in a series of complex relationships throughout time. I present a comprehensive overview of the site, providing the paleothnobotanical data collected by previous researchers in order to show how such archaeological data can be used to inform restoration work. The research ends with a presentation of how SunWatch can provide a model for doing this work in other places, as well as a series of questions and criteria necessary for determining when and where it is appropriate.

  • Amusements in Mathematics, by Henry Ernest Dudeney
    Transcribers note: Many of the puzzles in this book assume a familiarity with the currency of Great Britain in the early 1900s. As this is likely not common knowledge for those outside Britain (and possibly many within,) I am including a chart of relative values. The most common units used were: the Penny, abbreviated: d. (from the Roman penny, denarius) the Shilling, abbreviated: s. the Pound, abbreviated: £ There was 12 Pennies to a Shilling and 20 Shillings to a Pound, so there was 240 Pennies in a Pound. To further complicate things, there were many coins which were various fractional values of Pennies, Shillings or Pounds. Farthing ¼d. Half-penny ½d. Penny 1d. Three-penny 3d. Sixpence (or tanner) 6d. Shilling (or bob) 1s. Florin or two shilling piece 2s. Half-crown (or half-dollar) 2s. 6d. Double-florin 4s. Crown (or dollar) 5s. Half-Sovereign 10s. Sovereign (or Pound) £1 or 20s. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it should be adequate to solve the puzzles in this book. AMUSEMENTS IN MATHEMATICS by HENRY ERNEST DUDENEY In Mathematicks he was greater Than Tycho Brahe or Erra Pater: For he, by geometrick scale, Could take the size of pots of ale; Resolve, by sines and tangents, straight, If bread or butter wanted weight; And wisely tell what hour o' th' day The clock does strike by algebra. BUTLER'S Hudibras . 1917 PREFACE Pg v In issuing this volume of my Mathematical Puzzles, of which some have appeared in periodicals and others are given here for the first time, I must acknowledge the encouragement that I have received from many unknown correspondents, at home and abroad, who have expressed a desire to have the problems in a collected form, with some of the solutions given at greater length than is possible in magazines and newspapers.
