Local REMC organizes "SWAT"

Kosciusko County REMC has started a new program. It is organizing a SWAT Team to carry out the activities of this new venture. SWAT in this case stands for Safety Watch Action Team. Membership is open to boys or girls from seven to 14 years old whose parents/guardians are members of the REMC. The objective of this SWAT Team is to increase the number of eyes watching for hazards or potential causes of service interruptions along the REMC lines. This “spot the hazards” program will help the REMC correct or repair problems on the lines during regular working hours, rather than in a storm or middle of the night when the trouble might cause a line “outage”. Some of the things SWAT members look for and report to the REMC are broken poles or crossarms, broken or loose guy wires, trees or limbs in the lines, loose or sagging wires, wires on the ground, and TV towers or farm equipment too close to the lines.

After a SWAT member reports two conditions to the REMC that are checked and repaired, he or she is awarded a SWAT Team Tshirt. Any boy or girl ages seven to 14 who lives on the REMC lines can become a member of the SWAT Team by writing or phoning the REMC office in Warsaw and re- > questing a membership card. The ’ card and additional information will be mailed to anyone who asks for them. When requesting a card, give name, age, parent’s name and REMC account number. The REMC is hoping to get a large number of SWAT members since the more eyes watching, the more potential troubles can be spotted and repaired before they cause a major problem, injury or possibly a death.

A. Rey; The Climb, by Carol Carrick; and Morgan and the Artist, by Donald Carrick Also, a collection of Sesame Street books, Grover Learns to Read, by Dan Elliott; Sesame Street Sign Language ABC, by Linda Bove; Bert and the Broken Teapot, by Tish Sommers; Big Bird Visits the Dodos and Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird, both by Deborah Hautzey; and I Want To Go Home, by Sarah Roberts Recently added to the children’s collection are several titles that boys and girls will readily recognize as movies they have enjoyed: The Black Cauldron and The Return to Oz Storybook, both by Walt Disney; The Woks and the Other Lost Children, by Amy Ehrlich; and E.T., the Storybook of the Green Planet, by William Kotzwindhle The Ewoks and the Other Lost Children is based on the television movie, The Ewok Adventure. This story tells the tale of the Ewok family. Deej, the father, and proud ex-warrior; Shodu, the mother, fiercely protective and loving; their children, Weechee and Widdle, the two older brothers; Wicket, the younger, smartest brother; and Winda, the baby female who befriends and cares for the orphaned human children, Mace and Cindel. The plot involves the allegiance between the Ewok family and Mace and Cindel as they challenge the evil Gorax and ultimately find, free, and reunite Cindel and Mace with their parents. Return to Oz Storybook The Return to Oz Storybook relives the magic of the land of Oz as we find Dorothy returning to the Emerald City to visit the Scarecrow, now King of Oz. We are introduced to new characters along the way including Billina, a chicken, Tuk Tok, the Royal Army of Oz, the Nome King, and Princess Mombi, the witch. This story could be described as the old favorite in a modern, contemporary plot. The photographs taken from the film will surely hold the attention of even the “squirmiest” of tots. The Black Cauldron The Black Cauldron is the whimsical tale of Dalben’s young ward, Taran, and his pampered pig, Hen Wen. Taran dreams of being a warrior instead of waiting on a spoiled pig. Taran realizes than Hen Wen is a very “special” pig when he discovers the magical secret of Hen Wen’s transformation. It is now Taran’s duty to protect The Black Cauldron, an awesome weapon hidden for centuries from the Horned King. . At the story’s conclusion, Taran has learned the value of friendship is “lots more important than being a great warrior.” The cartoon drawings are bright and colorful, the text inviting to young readers. E.T., The Storybook E.T., the Storybook of the Green Planet is a completely new adventure that picks up where the movie left off by telling us what happened when E.T. went home. This is sure to be a pleasant reading experience for the more “seasoned reader’s diet.” Grades three-five. Nonfiction Added to the nonfiction collection is History Eye Witness Inventors by Norman Wymer. If the start of television, radar, the early warning signal, the first railways, and the race to the moon sound like interesting topics to you, check out this book and find out how John Logie Baird, Robert Watson, W. George

Stephenson, and Wernher von Braun have contributed to society through their inventions. The Paper Crane, a new book by Caldecott, winning author/illustrator Molly Bang, is receiving raving reviews by library journals and librarians, as well. The unique illustrations make the story come alive as we meet a restaurant owner with a declining business and a lot of time to polish his empty plates and tables. One night a stranger, with worn clothes and a gentle manner, enters the restaurant and the reader enters the world of the paper crane which comes to life and brings life, laughter, and dance to the desolate case. Soon the word of the dancing crane spread and people came far and near to see the magic bird perform. But, I don’t want to spoil the excitement of the ending for you will want to share this book with your “little listener.” The Glass Mountain, a retold Grimm tale originally titled, “The Raven,” is nicely illustrated anew by Nonny Hogrogea. This may be a tale parents will remember having read or told to them as children. It’s beauty remains to be enjoyed as a special together “snuggle time” treat. As an additional reminder, parents of children, ages three and up, are reminded that our story hour sessions are still in progress every Saturday morning from 10:30-11:30. Children are encouraged to attend and bring with them an appetite for the wonderment of books. You may get upset at your employer for taking advantage of you, big business may infringe upon one’s rights, hence no one likes to feel used. Come to your library, you put the public in our name, and we unashamedly say, “We want to feel used! ” KCH offers CPR course Kosciusko Community Hospital, in conjunction with the American Heart Association, is again offering the six-hour basic rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) class to the general public this spring. The first class will cover risk factors of heart attacks, demonstrations of one and twoman CPR, CPR for infants and children, and treatment for adult, child and infant choking. The second evening’s class will allow each participant to have practice time, take a short written quiz for proficiency, and see a return demonstration of techniques and treatment. The classes are designed for first time students and for those wishing to renew their certifications. Pre-registration is necessary to determine class size. A fee will be charged to cover the cost of materials. The first class session will be held on Monday and Tuesday, April 14 and 15, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., in the REMC building in Warsaw.
