Fourth-grade classes at Washington-Monroe are read to every week by
"mystery
readers." Erin Barrick’s mother, Heather Barrick, read
“The Lorax,” by Dr. Seuss, to Mrs. Singleton’s class last Friday. Parents and
other relatives choose a day and select a book. Only the teacher
knows who the reader will be each week. Readers send the teacher
five clues about themselves. One clue is given to the class every
day, from vague on Monday to more direct by Friday. The class tries
to identify the readers before they arrive. Question sessions follow
the readings.

Chris Fehr, owner of Liberty
Tax Service in
Lincoln, was
visiting local
businesses
on Tuesday, handing out $50
bills. The bills
weren't real
but were meant to
introduce an
incentive that
could get his
customers real
money when they
visit his
office. The tax
service, now open in the
former Long John
Silver's building
on Woodlawn Road,
is looking
forward to a
busy tax season
in Lincoln. A
ribbon-cut is
planned
for the near
future.

October to watch
inmates ride and
rope like
cowboys and to be

it comes to breastfeeding. Before you quit, give
yourself time (6 to 8 weeks) to adjust. Breastfeeding
is a learning process for you and your baby. After a
little bit of time you will both become more comfortable
and be on a schedule.
For more information,
