Students to hold book sale for Haiti

Jan 22, 2010

Along with hearing about the need for aid in Haiti after the earthquake, students also know Le Mars middle schoolers whose homes were damaged by fires and the American Red Cross stepped in to help, Gray added.

Right now, the students are busy drawing and putting up posters, handing out flyers and collecting books for the sale Tuesday.

Anyone wishing to donate books 10 years old or newer and movies rated no higher than PG-13 can drop them off at the LCS Middle School office, eighth grader Blake Beitelspacher said.

Tuesday's sale will be from 3:30 to 7 p.m. in the LCS Middle School Commons.

The sale is open to everyone.

The group of students plans to work in shifts to cover the sale.

Children's books will be 50 cents, paperback books $1 and hardcover books $2. VHS movies will be $1 and DVDs will be $2.

All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross.

"We could raise between $500 and $1,000," said eighth grader Josie Brownmiller. "That's a lot of money."

Hennie Comfort is eighty-six and has lived in the mountains of Middle Swan, Colorado since before it was Colorado. Nit Spindle is just seventeen and newly married. She and her husband have just moved to the high country in search of work. It's 1936 and the depression has ravaged the country and Nit and her husband have suffered greatly. Hennie notices the young woman loitering near the old sign outside of her house that promises "Prayers For Sale". Hennie doesn't sell prayers, never has, but there's something about the young woman that she's drawn to. The harsh conditions of life that each have endured create an instant bond and an unlikely friendship is formed, one in which the deepest of hardships are shared and the darkest of secrets are confessed.

Sandra Dallas has created an unforgettable tale of a friendship between two women, one with surprising twists and turns, and one that is ultimately a revelation of the finest parts of the human spirit.

Banged out in a hurry for the 1964 Christmas market, Beatles for Sale sometimes sounds it, loaded with ill-conceived covers and some of John Lennon's most self-loathing lyrics. On the other hand, the people doing the banging-out were the Beatles, whose instincts for what worked musically were so strong that they could basically do no wrong--any record that has "Baby's in Black," "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" and the delectable "Eight Days a Week" on it is only "minor" in the most relative sense. And, though their voices had been frazzled a bit by constant touring, they revved them up for some joyous shouting, and indulged their fondness for American country in subtle, playful ways. --Douglas Wolk

This sexy comedy proves that sometimes too much of a good thing can be the worst thing for you. Trey (Jackie Long, ATL) is a young deliveryman who can't seem to catch a break. His whole life is a shambles - no money for college and no game to attract the ladies. After a failed attempt to get together with the girl of his dreams (singer Mya, Shall We Dance), Trey gets caught up by a seductive older woman (Melyssa Ford, Three Can Play That Game) who pays for his "personal delivery services." He's having the time of his life - at first, but this deceptively ideal situation soon sends his life spinning out of control!
