spare afternoon or long, boring lunch hours, you may want to consider dedicating your own time to work with these or other students. There are approximately 34 regular volunteers at Woodview Elementary and still more are sought. Volunteers are still needed in the following areas: third grade, to help students in spelling; special education, general studies; fourth grade, learning activities; clerical help at all levels; and physical education, teaching children at younger levels how to manipulate through specific exercises, and assistance overseeing older groups. Hats off to those who already give so much of themselves to further the advancement of our young people. They are forging lifelong bonds with the youngsters who hold tomorrow in their hands...today. Library issues new WOW cards Library patrons must now show their library card before they can check out any of the 75,000 books, videos and other items on the shelves at the Nappanee Public Library. By showing their new cards, library patrons will see improvements in speed and accuracy when checking out materials. “Each number that is scanned rather than typed greatly reduces the chance of error,” said Library Director Linda Yoder. The new policy coincides with the introduction of the new WOW (Window on the World) card. The WOW card is an all-inclusive ticket to using library service. It has a photo ID on the front and a magnetic strip on the back. The card can be used for checking out materials and as a charge card at computer printers and at the photocopier. “The new photo ID will prevent someone else from using their card, which we know has been a problem in the past,” stated Yoder. “Some library cardholders told us they’ve discovered at family reunions that someone else had been using their card and keeping materials past due! They wondered why they were getting overdue notices for books they did not have!” The WOW cards will be issued free to those registering for anew or renewed card. If the expiration date on the card has not yet been reached, patrons may continue to use the “old” card, or purchase a WOW card as a replacement for $2.

During the monthly reports by city officers, Nappanee Fire Chief Don Lehman shared a letter with the council. It came from the parents of a first grader who attends a private school in the Nappanee area which the NFD visited one year ago during Fire Prevention Week. The letter thanked the firemen involved in Fire Prevention Week visits for their time. It recanted

how their first grader’s clothing caught fire following an “explosion of an unknown object” while burning trash. Within a minute the child recalled one fireman’s order to remove the clothing quickly or drop and roll. The young victim discarded his shirt and was found to be burned over 20-25% of his body. The accident, which occurred this past summer, could have had a much more serious or even tragic outcome had that young boy not benefited from the local Fire Prevention Week visits of the Smokey Stovers. Hats off to each of the men who
