The Lakeland Community School Board of Trustees was impressed enough with the sales that board member Marguerite Hoerr acknowledged the accomplishments at last week’s board meeting. In overall class scorings, the sixth grade was top in sales, followed by the eighth and seventh grades respectively. Top salesmen in order were: John Wright, Renee Manges, Julie Hollar, Lisa Kaiser, Cindy Poort, Kevin Beer, Tina den Hartog, Don Deter, Diane Coppes and Jada Alexander. Students who won prizes in the drawing were: Diane Coppes. Linda Benning, Teofilo Garcia, John Wright, Tina den Hartog, Lisa Kaiser, Cynthia Elliott, Tammy Munson, Kim Newcomer, Dan Wuthrich, Julie Hollar, Shawna Miller and Charlie Shepherd. For a student to have his name in the drawing, he had to sell at least 10 items. Each student was awarded one ticket for the first 10 items sold and additional tickes for every five items over the initial 10 that were sold. All students selling 10 or more items also qualified for a skiing party on Feb. 8. A total of 128 students will participate in the trip.

She adds a touch of beauty to straw garden hats by arranging an ornate band of herbs and flowers around them. After growing them, she uses different methods to dry them. One of these is air-drying. Simply hang the herbs or flowers upside down. Gently surround the flower with sand and leaving it sit for about a week is another method. An interesting technique is the use of clay kitty litter in the microwave. She says the most important factor is that the drying area be dark and cool. In 1972 Barbara attended classes at Greenfield Village in Detroit, Mich. Since then she has worked at the Museum of Modern Art, also in Detroit; Detroit Institute of Art; Colonial Williamsburg, Va, and as a craft interpreter at Greenfield Village. A member of the Herb Society of America, she lectures on all aspects of herbs, including: medicinal, decorative, culinary, dyeing, and fragrance. From New York, she has raised three children and studied art and photography. Presently, she says her study and use of herbs is a learning experience to her. She also enjoys books and antiques.
