Program About a Bicycle Trip from<br />
South America to VT<br />
Mundo Pequeno Publicity<br />
Three friends rode their bicycles 12,000 miles from the tip<br />
of South America to Vermont, a road trip that took them<br />
nearly a year. Although it was an epic journey, their goal was<br />
to see just how small the world really is by finding connections<br />
with the people they met along the way.<br />
Two of the riders, Cameron Russell and Eli Bennett, will<br />
share images and stories of the eleven-month trip they<br />
named “Mundo Pequeño — Small <strong>World</strong>” on Friday, August<br />
9th from 7 pm to 8:30 pm at the Memorial Building in<br />
Hardwick, sponsored by the Friends of the Jeudevine<br />
Library. It is free and open to the public and accessible to<br />
individuals with disabilities.<br />
Cameron Russell, who grew up in Middlebury and has<br />
been an avid cyclist since childhood, dreamed about a bike<br />
trip across the Americas for ten years before it became a reality.<br />
His dream began on a solo ride from the coast of Oregon<br />
to Boston, Massachusetts, during which Russell experienced<br />
the kindness and generosity of strangers who, at times,<br />
offered him food and even lodging in their homes. He discovered<br />
one of the unique benefits of cycling is the way it<br />
enables human connections that reveal common ground<br />
across many differences.<br />
Russell was fortunate to find two cyclists interested in<br />
sharing his dream. In January 2017, Noah McCarter and Eli<br />
Bennett joined Russell, and the trio began their cycling jour-<br />

ney in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. They traveled up the<br />
rugged west coast of South America through Chile, Bolivia,<br />
Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, made their way through<br />
Central America’s wet jungles and the center of Mexico, then<br />
on into the United States before finally reaching home in<br />
Vermont eleven months later.<br />
With a budget of only $20 per day and bikes packed with<br />
camping gear, they experienced exquisite natural beauty and<br />
faced extreme physical challenges. Just as Russell had found<br />
during his cross-country trip a decade earlier, they were met<br />
with acts of kindness and generosity from the people they<br />
met along the way. Throughout their trip, they documented<br />
stories of these people and witnessed the shared humanity<br />
that exists between us all.<br />
The library presentation will include a visual overview of<br />
their trip as well as a sampling of stories they documented.<br />
Time will be available at the end for questions. An overview<br />
of Mundo Pequeño can be found at http://www.mundopequeno.org/.<br />

How To Instill A Love Of Reading In Youngsters<br />
Reading is a rewarding activity that can benefit people<br />
throughout their lives. A great way to pass time on a summer<br />
day at the beach, reading also can provide a host health benefits,<br />
some of which may surprise even the most avid reader.<br />
According to a review from the Cochrane Library, a scientific<br />
review board in the United Kingdom, mentally challenging<br />
tasks may be beneficial for people with mild to moderate<br />
Alzheimer’s disease. Mental stimulation improved scores on<br />
memory and thinking tests for people with dementia.<br />
But the benefits of reading are perhaps even more profound<br />
for children. The University of Michigan C.S. Mott<br />
Children’s Hospital notes that reading and writing skills can<br />
help children perform better in the classroom and even benefit<br />
them down the road in their professional lives. When<br />
children read, they develop skills such as phonemic awareness,<br />
which is the ability to hear, identify and play with<br />
individual sounds in spoken words. Reading also can help<br />
kids develop their vocabulary and reading comprehension<br />
skills.<br />
As much as parents promote reading to their youngsters,<br />
• • •<br />
getting kids to embrace reading can be difficult. That may be<br />
especially true today, when children have distractions like<br />
tablets, phones and social media competing for their attention.<br />
Parents who want to make reading part of their family<br />
lifestyle can try these tips, courtesy of the C.S. Mott<br />
Children’s Hospital.<br />
• Turn off your devices. Children between 18 and 24<br />
months of age should only use digital devices together with<br />
their parents. For children older than two years of age,<br />
screen use should be limited to no more than one hour per<br />
day. Turning off these devices and promoting reading limits<br />
kids’ exposure to digital media while providing a perfect<br />
opportunity to read.<br />
• Set an example. Children mimic their parents’ behavior.<br />
Kids who see their parents reading books, magazines and<br />
newspapers may be more likely to embrace reading than<br />
youngsters who do not see their parents reading.<br />
• Visit the library. A trip to the library can help children<br />
discover books that align with their interests. Such books<br />
may serve as a catalyst for a love of reading in youngsters.
