 Visitors to the Lansing Community Library were transformed to the 1880s Tuesday as Donna Scott told them about the history and heyday of bicycles. Scott, a long-time bicycle collector and historian, created an experience for the packed exhibit room that included period costume, actual historic bicycles, posters and a history wall based on her presentation. Scott says Eagle high wheeled bicycles in particular took more skill than modern bikes. "To get on those babies you've got to race down the road and be really agile and get that pedal when it's down in the right place and fling yourself on," she says. "Only very athletic people can get on them."
When the library's art show director Janice Hagstrom learned that Scott has a collection the two began talking about an exhibit. Scott was loath to leave them at the library until after the capital project that rendered the building more secure. Hagstrom wanted an art show to go with the bicycles. "What she hit upon was this bicycle poster book," Scott says. "It has 100 posters advertising bicycles and tricycles, mostly from the 1890s, but a few from the 1880s. They are all art nouveau or similar styles from that period."

Boy Scouts from Lansing Troop 48 went on a high adventure trip to Pennsylvania over the Memorial Day weekend. After camping Friday night at Hickory Run state park in the Lehigh Valley, two dozen Scouts, leaders, and guests gathered gear and waterproof lunches and headed for the nearby WhiteWater Challengers rafting center. A few opted for wet suits to stay warm in the reported 53 degree water.
