This year's Summer Reading Program has ended with excellent turnout from readers of all ages. A big thank you to the businesses, groups, clubs and individuals that contrib- uted to our Summer Read- ing Program this year, it on- ly serves to prove that Pike County cares enough about literacy to put its money where its mouth is! The Friends of the Pike County Public Library are collecting locals' favorite recipes for a cookbook to be published and sold by them for a fundraiser. If you have a favorite recipe, bring it by any PCPL branch or send it to us or the Friends on Facebook. Be sure to in- clude your name for credit in the book if chosen. If there is enough early interest, they would like to have it ready for the holidays, what a per- fect gift! If you are interested in joining the Friends of the Library group, next month's meeting will be Thursday, August 11 at the Otwell branch at 5:30 p.m., or you can contact them on Face- book at facebook.com/ Friends-of-Pike-County- Public-Library or us at face- book.com/PikeCoPublicLi- brary (Like those pages peo- ple! We love our county and we'd love to hear from you!) Public meetings of the Board of Trustees are sched- uled for every 2nd Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the Peters- burg branch. Any changes to the sched- ule of events will be posted to the front door of your local branch and on the library's Facebook page. A while back while travel- ing from the Otwell branch to the Winslow branch, I took the "Cato cut-through" (Cato-Winslow Rd. for the out-of-towners). I like to get off the highway from time to time when traveling to a des- tination within the county. I'm not talking about going down to the river bottoms; I'm not sure the suspension on the old 90's Outreach van could take that! I learned to drive on these roads, and one important lesson I learned in my early years is that once in a while, you have to turn down an un- familiar path, if for no oth- er reason than to make it fa- miliar. The thing that stuck out the most to me on this drive was that I passed roads I could not remember having driven down. I made men- tal notes to explore them the next time I was driving for pleasure, and it got me to thinking about the path I take when I am walking through our libraries, it was not reflective of my explor- er's heart. I had developed a pattern; "I'm going to the nursing home outreach, go to inspirational non-fiction, book club at the Junior High School, which new Hunger Games clone do we have that I could show them? " Fine choices, but I was "highway driving" through my day. I took some reading side roads and it paid off. I took the current issue of Outdoor Life to the nursing home and read a feature story about someone who had to sur- vive an escape from a back country hunting expedition with a broken leg. It went over great! (Spoiler alert, the hunter lived). I took the newest additions to our man- ga collection to PCMS and found out that manga and anime are still very relevant to our local youth! One of our current most popular programs for teens was born out of that explo- ration; "Uncommon Ramen/ Anime A fternoon" (Every second Friday after school at the Petersburg branch) is geared to ages 13+ and is all about trying foods made with that old broke college student go to, Ramen noo- dles, but with a little more imagination than "zap noo- dles, empty flavored salt, ex- perience sadness." For instance, one recent uncommon Ramen recipe was "Rocky Road Ramen Clusters," (I'll include the recipe at the end of the arti- cle). While we are enjoying our treats, we watch a couple episodes of a favorite anime. Our children's programs encourage exploration as well, "Creative Kids" is all about learning by doing (the next one is coming up on Au- gust 8), and our big program at the beginning of summer reading, "Ready, Set, Rep- tiles! ," was all about get- ting a better understanding of cold-blooded creatures, and even allowed the kids to touch the animals (no chil- dren were eaten). Each day can be an adven- ture, and each book, or mov- ie, piece of music or activi- ty is a pathway in the world of your mind. The next time you are in your local branch, I recommend taking a side road from your usual go to, and look for some of your li- brary's hidden treasures. It might surprise you what ex- citing adventures there are that you never knew you would go on. Speaking of new adven- tures, I am proud to an- nounce we will soon be add- ing video games to our col- lection. They will be avail- able for patrons to check out! At this time, we are only able to grow our video game col- lection with donated titles so, Wii, Wii U, PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One games would be appreciated. If you're done with a game, consider giv- ing it to the library so the whole county can enjoy the adventure.

Jochem places third in national welding contest The winners of the 52nd Annual SkillsUSA Champi- onships in Welding were an- nounced at the Awards Cer- emony of the SkillsUSA Na- tional Leadership and Skills Conference on Friday, June 24. The conference was held June 20 -24, at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louis- ville, Ky. More than 15,000 students, teachers, educa- tion leaders and represen- tatives from 600 national corporations, trade associ- ations, businesses and la- bor unions participated in the event. Pike Central vocation- al welding student Ken Jo- chem placed third, receiv- ing a bronze medal. Ken, a 2016 Forest Park High School graduate, participat- ed in the Pike Central Voca- tional Welding program un- der the direction of weld- ing instructor Kevin Carter through the Patoka Valley Vocational Cooperative. Ken is the eighth Pike Central welding student to place in the national con- test over the last 16 years. For his accomplishment, Ken received Lincoln and Miller welding machines; a Pipe Pro calculator; Car- hartt clothing valued at $100 ; one-year member- ship in the American Weld- ing Society; and numerous tools of the trade. Ken al- so received several schol- arships. Competitors received contest drawings and a set of welding procedure spec- ifications. All drawings, welding symbols and weld- ing terms conformed to the latest edition of the Amer- ican Welding Society stan- dards. Through a series of stations, contestants were tested on various aspects of welding: measuring weld replicas, using weld mea- suring gauges; laying out a plate and using oxy-acet- ylene equipment to cut sev- eral holes that are checked for accuracy and quality; Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW ) on steel making welds in various positions using short circuiting trans- fers; Flux Cored Arc Weld- ing (FCAW ) using a shield- ing gas, making welds in various positions and, us- ing a combination machine capable of providing the correct welding current for shielded metal arc (SMAW ) and gas tungsten arc weld- ing (GTAW ). Competitors completed the steel project and weld- ed an aluminum project in various positions using a va- riety of filler metals. Contestants were judged while assembling and weld- ing the project. Certified welding inspectors judged the completed project. In- spection methods included visual techniques.
