Safety bag

Safety may be'in the bag soon as the Nappanee Fire Department learned how to work an emergency airbag system recently. The airbags were donated to the department from the Nappanee EMS. The four bags will be used in conjunction with the Jaws of Life to help to get people out of accident situations quickly, according to Fire Chief Don Abel. The bags are small when deflated so can fit into tight situations and are easily portable. Compressed air is filled into the bags when they are in place to help lift windsheilds, cars, and farm equipment. Victims are protected from glass when the bag is between them and the windsheld. The bags have only been on the market for a few years. Altogether the four bags have the capability of lifting 117 tons. Shown here the windshield of an automobile is lifted off with the help of the airbag. The bag was put underneath the window between the shield and the occupant. (AN photo by Julia Mast)

tal in initiating several new programs during the past year. During the 1985-86 school year, 11 North Wood students were enrolled in the “Youth Competency Testing Program.” The program was funded by the Elkhart County Start Center. The intent of the program was to identify various dcficiancics and then present material to the students so that they would be able to attain an acceptable level of competency in any given area. The attainment of these competencies was measured through the completion of a scries of tests. North Wood was reimbursed SBOO for every student who completed the program, thus receiving a total of SB.BOO. The monies received will be used for guidance and career-related materials. At this time, North Wood is in the process of making application for this year’s program. Another program new to NorthWodid

Proclaim Voter Awareness Week

It’s political campaign time againtime for slogans, brochures and advertisements-and time for votingage citizens to. begin making decisions on candidates and issues. It is also a mid-term election year, and,, according to Secretary of State Ed Simcox, it’s time to turn around the tradition of low voter turnout and lack of participation. “It’s time for Americans Jo realize that our country does not run itself,” Simcox said. "Eligible citizens must take advantage of their right to vote, in order for government to function effectively.” S incox, who is the chief elections administrator of the state, believes that the trend of low voter turnout can be reversed with a little more encouragement from those who are already involved in the political process. His plan to promote turnout is underway. “At my request. Governor Orr has signed a proclamation declaring September 29-Octobcr 6 as Voter Awareness Week in Indiana,” Simcox said. “I am encouraging eligible Hoosiers to register by October 6 and vote on election day, November 4.” The youth vote is of particular interest to Simcox, because the 18-34-year-olds traditionally have had the lowest percentage of voter turnout of any segment of the population. With his “Get Out the Vote” campaign, Simcox hopes to make citizens realize that every vote is important. “We must have strong turnout in order for the election to be truly representative,” Simcox said. “It’s the balance of opinion from a great diversity of citizens who make up the electorate that enables government to function for the good of all the people.” In stressing the importance of

students was the summer work program. The “START” Center funded the program, while the high school was responsible for finding eligible students, supervision and work projects. North Wood involved seven students and one adult supervisor, who, along with the cooperation of the maintenance department, completed several maintenance projects around various schools in the Wa-Nee District. In addition, North Wood placed two students with the Nappanee Parks Department, using START funds. These students were paid $3.35 per hour, for 35 hours per week, for nine weeks. The supervisor worked for $6.25 per hour. The guidance department feels the program was worth about $ 11,000 to the students and supervisor. In addition to the money the students received, and the valuable work habits they learned, the maintenance department appreciated the extra help received. , v

becoming involved in the political process and warning of the consequences of not becoming involved, Simcox said that voting is the peoples’ voice in democracy. “We must not ignore the responsibility to voice our opinion and choose who will lead our government,” he urged. “Elections affect all of us. We must get involved, so that our wants will be knbwn and our voices will be heard.” Civic organizations, youth organizations, schools, universities and individual citizens will be encouraged to attract voting-age people to the polls in November, according to Simcox. “The turnout in the May Primary was dismal...less than 30%. We can and must do better in November across the state,” Simcox said.
